Out at last – if you subscribe to The Stitcher’s Journal you will have seen the charming extract in the first issue, and may be expecting your pre-ordered copy to be dropping on your doormat soon. This is such a delightful book, full of great ideas for adding a little Chris Myers charm to your home. Yes, there is a Scandi influence, but it is really about Chris, and the way she sees the magical possibilities in a sprig of blossom, or a scrap of fabric. It is the perfect welcome-to-spring read, and makes you want to scrub every inch of your home and fill it with hand-made loveliness.
