The format is so user friendly with the first set of pages going over the basics in a way that makes complete sense and seem totally doable even for beginners. Her patterns are so unique and unlike others I’ve seen. They are well thought out and she explains everything so clearly step by step. The patterns all come with step by step photos which helps me to visualize exactly what needs to be done. As previous commenter mentioned some patterns are available for purchase on her website, however the majority are new and not available to purchase. I’m excited to get started on my newest embroidery piece. Review: Great book! Beautiful too! - I bought several modern embroidery books, but I wish I had come across this one first! It’s well organized and the designs are beautiful. The author even writes a section on color theory, it’s just an overview but helpful. I think this book hits the mark if you’re looking for modern inspiration; and it has projects for all levels.
