In the fifth collection of her extraordinary embroideries, Helen M. Stevens has gathered her inspiration from around the globe. The natural world, diverse cultures, literary heritage and realms of fantasy, like the four corners of the compass, point her needle toward new horizons, strange lands and fresh ideas.
