Jan Constantine launches her first book “Heirloom Embroidery” on 25 August 2008 in the UK, the USA and Australia. This beautiful book, with stunning photography, enables the reader to duplicate Jan’s exquisite designs, by guiding them through the various stages of the embroidering and making process. Jan comments “Embroidery is something that has been passed down through the generations of my family and, through this fantastic and exhilarating experience of writing my first book, I will hopefully inspire others to pick up the needle and enjoy this wonderful art form too. It has been a thrill to write about a subject that I love and to work alongside some outstanding professionals. I am confident that this is evident in my book, and I am so excited about its release.” “Heirloom Embroidery” is published by Jacqui Small, who specialises in interior and craft based books that are personality driven.
