Floralies

Floralies by Cecile Franconie

After the enormous success of her first book, France’s leading embroiderer of flowers, Cécile Franconie, has returned with an abundance of new projects that will take your breath away! Take a stroll through Cécile’s garden and let her show you how to embroider with your knitting and crochet yarn, perle cotton, beads and all sorts of unlikely materials. Watch how your own creative garden will be taken to new levels!

You will find a wealth of projects that can take anywhere from one afternoon to several months to make. Small cases, sewing twirls, wall hangings, brooches, quilts and bags – the 37 projects are meticulously explained and accompanied by full-size templates and layouts for the embroidery stitches.

You do not need to be an expert. What matters most is to be curious, and to take pleasure, without overthinking it, in touching the materials and bringing them to life. – Cécile Franconie
