WIN two copies of ‘Love Stitching’ by Jan Constantine
We are all about being quintessentially British here at HHM, so you can imagine my delight when I was sent a copy of Jan Constantine’s new book, Love Stitching. I have always been a big fan of her work, as for me she truly epitomises all that is great about British Design.
Love stitching is a stunning collection of decorative appliqué and hand-embroidery projects, featuring some of her best selling designs for cushions, throws, wall hangings and many other home accessories. This book is full of simple techniques that even a novice like myself can have fun trying out these crafty projects. Full of bright colours, bold and graphic designs, this book has taken a more modern approach capturing a mix of nostalgia, romance, patriotism and celebration. For this reason it is bound to inspire home-owners to get stitching.
Here at HHM we are giving away a couple of copies of the book to our lovely readers. If you fancy getting crafty then all you have to do is a leave a comment below and make sure to subscribe to our magazine using the form in the sidebar. The winners will be selected randomly in a couple of weeks. Best of Luck!
***COMPETITION CLOSED***.
The winners, as selected by random.org, are Meg Charlish and Phyllis Ellett. Congratulations, we will be in touch to arrange the prize being sent to you. Thank you to everyone else who entered and stay tuned for more competitions.
