The Design Collective: Christmas

Volume 2

Description

Twelve of the world’s most talented needlework artisans each design a project to celebrate Christmas with stitch. Each designer was given the same brief. There were no rules. No guidelines. The only criteria: a connection to Christmas.

The book features the following projects:
