Compelled by the belief that every embroidery has a story waiting to be told, ‘A Passion for Needlework’ is a series of books that tell these stories. Stories of beautiful needlework set in stunning, unique locations.
A Passion for Needlework | The Whitehouse Daylesford is the 4th release in the series.
The Whitehouse Daylesford is a 160-year-old cottage bathed in character and rich in patina. A space masterfully styled with such purposeful intent, every detail exists in anticipation of telling the most wonderful of stories. It is from this location we introduce 12 brand new embroidered masterpieces.
Twelve exceptional needlework pieces by twelve exceptional designers, all in one remarkable location.
