The history of the creation of this book is interesting and a little sad. The outstanding British embroiderer Hasel Everett, the author of the Bratseller Golden Bratseller, conceived it many years ago and did a tremendous work on developing designs for the book and combining two popular embroidery techniques, but did not manage to complete the work, suddenly died in 2018.
However, the book of Hasel was nevertheless finished - thanks to the efforts of her wife Adrian and colleagues Jen Barsby, who collected and recycled Hazel materials. In 2021, the book was published in English, and now we are glad to present it to Russian -speaking readers
