Beautiful guided stitchwork for every season--featuring fall pumpkins
and mushroom wreaths, winter skiers, spring blossoms, summer vegetables,
and more!
With 56 unique embroidery pieces to reflect the seasons, this next book
from beloved author Yumiko Higuchi takes creatives on a month-by-month
exploration of colorful motifs that can be used on a variety of fabrics
and surfaces. Each month starts with an emblem of the month number, such
as a vibrant poppy wreath for May, a viny pumpkin for October, and
sprigs of mistletoe and Christmas roses for December. Each emblem
perfectly captures the spirit of the month, and the subsequent patterns
for each month follow the seasonal theme.
Each design in the book is accompanied by step-by-step instructions for
recreating it, including stitch types, thread colors by number, and
thread type. There is also a detailed section on how to perform certain
stitches and knots to guide beginners.
Whether embroidering a new dress, a pillowcase, a bag, or even a jar
cover for jam, Stitching through the Seasons has charming patterns
that are sure to spark creativity and festivity for embroiderers both
experienced and just starting out.
