Yumiko's unique aesthetic comes through in these 38 stunning embroidery designs. In the style of Scandinavian design by way of Japan, these colorful and detailed designs follow the course of a year, with imagery inspired by each month. From snow flowers and skiing bears in January to lily of the valley in May, a collection of seed pods in October, and trumpeting angels in December.
Each of the embroidery projects here are fairly large and detailed, making them more appropriate as hanging art than for other projects. And while no craft projects are offered here, some of the embroidery is photographed in scenes that hint toward how the designs can be used in other projects (such as on napkins, hats, bags, and aprons).
Celebrate the seasons through contemporary embroidery motifs for a year of stitching.
Give each month more beauty by stitching embroidery motifs with unique seasonal designs. Follow the course of a year-from snow flowers and skiing bears in January to lily of the valley in May, a collection of seed pods in October, trumpeting angels in December, and much more-to enliven your embroidery with a seasonal flair. Through thirty-eight patterns, designer Yumiko Higuchi offers organic yet modern designs with colorful and detailed imagery and a sweet and lively feel. Stitch projects to display as art or transform your work into small projects you can use.
With beautiful photographs, clear step-by-step instructions, and detailed diagrams, A Year of Embroidery offers dynamic and unique designs that will inspire embroiderers of all skill levels.
