Embroidery from the Heart

Embroidery from the Heart is a stunning collection of pieces from some of Australia’s best-known embroiderers, all created around the theme of the heart. The tragic and untimely death of a young woman from heart disease has inspired this touching memorial to her life, a creative exploration of the importance of the heart in all our lives. A proportion of the proceeds from this book will go to the Heart Foundation to support education and research into the prevention and treatment of heart disease. Embroidery from the Heart is a tribute in embroidery - to one heart from many.
