Those who subscribed to The Stitcher’s Journal last year, or who have a copy of Issue 7, may recall the article about Jane E Hall’s book, The Art of Embroidered Butterflies, published by Search Press and available from  today in a second edition. This is so much more than a book about embroidery: it is crammed with fascinating facts about butterflies and the natural world. You can read the original article by clicking here.

A brand new book by Jane will be published by Search Press in November of this year. I am sworn to secrecy, but it8778 is a really exciting addition to the shelves set aside for both embroidery and nature, as we would expect from someone so steeped in the natural world.
