New Release | The Handpicked Collection 6

We don’t mean to brag, but how fun and bright are the covers from the Handpicked Collection books?

We’ve been on a roll lately and we certainly didn’t want anything less from Collection 6.

So, ladies and gentlemen, without further ado - with what could very well be straight from the runways of a Milan fashion show - we present to you the cover of The Handpicked Collection 6, adorned with a gorgeous bouquet of flowers created by none other than Swiss designer Laurence Lieblich!

Yes, yes, we know - it’s all very vain to judge a book by its cover, but when it looks this good… let’s just say there is nothing wrong with enjoying a little eye candy!

After all, that’s the business we’re in - stitching beautiful things.

It’s only fair then that if we have a book with a cover this pretty, it should be filled with lots more pretty things - and here again is where Collection 6 brings its A-game.

Inside you’ll find a runway full of brand-new, stunning projects created by designers who are some of the best in the business.

Here’s what’s on offer:

Crocus, Clover & Jewel Beetle by Jane Nicholas Stumpwork panel featuring saffron crocus, red clover and a jewel beetle inspired by medieval botanical studies.

Summer Wildflowers by Hannah Mansfield Three-dimensional goldwork wreath of summer blooms created with metal threads and assembled floral elements.

Eglantine & Berries by Trish Burr Threadpainted study of a sweet briar rose with blackberries framed by scrolling stems.

Blue Sky Dreaming by Helen M. Stevens Coastal scene of little terns hovering above cliffs with sea holly in the foreground.

Spring Knot Garden by Tania Cohen Formal garden design of spring flowers combining goldwork and surface embroidery.

Chinese Hibiscus by Margaret Lee Red hibiscus worked using the random-stitch techniques of Chinese embroidery.

The Language of Silk by Laurence Lieblich Decorative cushion featuring a vibrant bouquet arranged in a blue-and-white vase.

Parrot Tree of Life by Margaret Light Tree-of-life design with blossoms and parrots stitched using Kantha embroidery.

A Touch of Blue by Kim Beamish Whitework needlework accessories accented with blue using pulled-thread embroidery.
