The Embroiderers' Guild, established in 1906, boasts an extensive collection of embroideries from across the globe. These remarkable works, which have miraculously endured through the ages, can be considered one of the most significant assemblages of embroideries gathered in one place. Early members of the Guild meticulously collected stitched pieces and fragments, carefully inserting them into portfolios that were circulated among members.

Nature has always served as a profound source of inspiration for embroiderers, and this remarkable book showcases the Embroiderers' Guild's vast collection of embroidered flowers throughout history. Featuring full-color photographs, the items are presented in full and also with detailed images to showcase the flowers at their finest.

These wonderful embroidered treasures are as diverse as wall hangings, children's dresses, bridal bags, and samplers, with some dating back to the 17th century. The images are accompanied by extended captions. Collected from various countries, this is a rare opportunity to witness fabulous works that are seldom displayed in public.
