      Hi Diane,
      As of now, we have only the eBook. It is a big book and we want the purchasers to find it easy to handle. 😁
      I am sorry to be late with my response. Had been on a road trip ( and still are!) and somehow missed your inquiry.
      Warm regards,
      Sarah

    Hi Sarah,

    I’m ‘new’ to embroidery having dabbled a little as a girl. I recently dug out a magazine series on needle craft from the 90’a which piqued my interest.

    Thanks to your amazing pictorial & written tutorials I think I might just be about to get serious about the craft. I realise that what I thought was relatively cool was only just the basics.

    I can’t wait to get going properly, the only thing now is going to be finding patterns. They seem to have gone out of fashion & are no longer readily available!

    By the way, I found your site through a Facebook embroidery page…

    Many thanks,

    Polly
