"Featuring 224 pages of hand-drawn illustrations of the whimsical sea creatures and playful woodland animals that inspire Housley's waggish embroidered textiles, the designer is most proud that the book's "tactile cover" is "reflective of our craft and the content of all the pages." - SOUTHERN LIVING
"As Stephanie Housley explains in the charming text of this treasure-chest collection of her exquisite needlework, she comes "from a long line of Appalachians who could make something out of noth-ing." Something, indeed! Whether you're buying a gift for a Coral & Tusk superfan or a lucky newbie, these impossibly dear owls and bears, kissing fawns and squirrels, foxes stargazing from sleeping bags around a campfire - plus the drawings and backstories that go with them - will beguile and delight." - OPRAH DAILY
"You may have seen the charming embroidery of Coral & Tusk gracing dish towels, pillows, and other home goods-think fine needlework displaying a woodsy wonderland of flora and fauna. Thankfully, the mastermind behind the brand, artist Stephanie Housley, has created a book sharing her life's work of drawing and embroidery. It is a gorgeous gift perfect for craftspeople, nature lovers, artists, designers, and home enthusiasts of all ages. And get this: The cover is actually embroidered, so your recipient gets a book and a piece of art at the same time." -Melissa Breyer, Editorial Director, MARTHA STEWART LIVING
