Embroidered Botanicals: Beautiful Motifs That Explore Stitching with Wool, Cotton, and Metalic Threads (Make Good: Japanese Craft Style)

Beautiful book with brilliant photographs and clear diagrams. There are designs for individual motifs and also ‘sheet’ designs for greater areas. As far as application of the designs is concerned, I feel that they could be worked on almost anything. In addition, I would say that these embroidered designs would look as good in a contemporary setting, as in a traditional one. I most definitely recommend this book.

Beautiful layout and content. I'm a beginner at embroidery, I love the clarity, minimal format, photography. Enjoyable to look through for ideas and guidance.Only criticism is having to constantly flip back and forth in the book between final sample piece nearer front and illustrated guide at back. But overall, very glad to have this book for reference!

This authors colour's and designs are very inspirational and different each time.Wordery are an excellent book supplier. Although the book arrived a little later than promised, I only made an enquiry in case it had got lost in the post. Communication with them confirmed it would arrive soon for which I am grateful.

I received this book as a Christmas gift. It is one of the most beautiful embroidery books that I have, and I have many. The projects are shown step by step in a manner that is very easy to follow, without complication. This book inspires me to pick up my needle and make gifts for people and to do some pieces for myself.Thank you Yumiko Higuchi for sharing your artistry with a needle.
