Stitch simple and striking embroidery designs with wool, cotton, pearl
cotton, and metallic threads.
Japanese artist Yumiko Higuchi is celebrated for her embroidery designs

true to her trademark zakka style: simple and graphic yet softened
with organic shapes and imagery drawn from nature. The result is
embroidery that feels modern and nostalgic all at once. In Embroidered
Botanicals, Higuchi offers 39 embroidery projects highlighting the
distinctive quality of different threads. With motifs created
specifically for different types of thread-wool, cotton, pearl cotton,
and metallic-makers will become better versed in the materials available
to them. With beautiful photographs, clear step-by-step instructions,
and detailed diagrams, this book will be an inspiring guide for those
new to embroidery and a fresh and unique offering for those experienced
with needle and thread.
