Floral Embroidery (White Owl Books, 2020)

Floral Embroidery reawakens the age-old practice of embroidery, giving to it a new and modern twist. You will learn to stitch dusty pink roses, leaves and stems that will trail to the edges of your embroidery hoop, and the smallest details that will pull your hoop together and compose the most beautiful bouquet. Once you have completed the patterns, you will be given the tools to create your own original pieces and where to find the materials to do so.
