Pourias delivers a great guide for beginners making their way into the world of embroidery. The book begins with an overview of the required tools and the stitches that are used in the 33 projects that follow. The patterns are straightforward and easy to understand. Each one has step-by-step instructions, diagrams, and a photo of the finished project. Readers will learn to create designs inspired by nature, such as different types of wildflowers, herbs, plants found in forests, and flowers seen in gardens or arrangements. Even those who already have some embroidery under their belt will appreciate the simplicity of these projects and the beauty of the end results.
VERDICT Best for readers who have never tried embroidery, but those looking for some new patterns or inspiration will benefit from this title too. A welcome addition to crafts and hobbies sections.
