Embroidered Garden Flowers: Botanical Motifs for Needle and Thread (Make Good: Crafts + Life) (Make Good: Japanese Craft Style)

This book is absolutely gorgeous. The instructions aren't step-by-step but rather labelled diagrams so beginners may find it tricky to start with, but as someone who's been embroidering for a while (and mainly floral at that!) it's a stunning little guide to stitching lovely flowers. I cannot recommend this enough!

An absolute must if you love Hand Embroidered Flowers and Plants! Another one for my collection of her beautiful books!

I bought this for its attention to detail when stitching garden flowers, something I’m new to. I found it well organised and a lovely book to just glance into for a particular flower. I’m not fazed by the line drawings or lack of detailed instructions as this wasn’t what I need. It has encouraged me to look at other flowers so I can find ways of interpreting them in stitch which I might not otherwise have done.

What a delightful book! If you're a beginner in the field of embroidery, you might regret the lack of vast numbers of the usual instruction pages that are normally found in embroidery books but don't let that deter you from buying it. Personally, I found it refreshing to open this book and find a stitch demonstration catalogue of only three pages plus two pages about setup. Every flower is well illustrated by full page colour photograph plus a separate page with an outline drawing showing which stitches and thread colours were used. There's also a little information about the flower family, bloom time, height and so on which is a nice touch. My book order was made on March 8th through Wordery and according to the latest email from Amazon, it's not due to be delivered for another two weeks but arrived this morning, so well done Wordery!

I do like this but the text is small and my eyesight is not what it was so can only read in the daytime. I would say you need to be fairly skilled in embroidery. But the pictures and the skill of the embroiderer is fantastic.

Just so beautiful. Large photos of realistic looking embroidered garden flowers and detailed instructions. Recommend.

Lovely book which was delivered in perfect condition and quicker than I thought . A great price too - thank you.

layout and content very good-inspired to keep sewing

Lovely book, great for inspiration!! 100% recommend

Ilustração belíssima, os bordados são uma inspiração para quem ama bordar.

Peccato non ci sia la traduzione in italiano. Peraltro sono pochi i libri di ricamo pubblicati su Amazon

This book has given me so many ideas and I so appreciate the time and effort which was put into creating it. I am definitely going to be embroidering many of the flowers illustrated in the book. Very pleased and impressed with the quality of the designs and execution.

Man kann alle Blumen des Gartens, die mit botanischen Namen verzeichnet sind, leicht nachsticken. Mit vielen Tips und einer sehr guten Anleitung zum Sticken der einzelnen Blumen. Von mit bekommt das Buch volle Punktzahl. Das war genau das, was ich gesucht habe. Der Text ist leider auf Englisch. Mit etwas Englischkenntnissen und einem Wörterbuch kommt man aber gut zurecht.
