Stitches from the Garden: Hand Embroidery Inspired by Nature

This is a very good book. I have many. Easy embroidery patterns. A bit Nordic stitches and those "antique" projects that look amazing on new eclectic styles too. Stitches from the Garden is just one book by the author. She has several. All great.

Beautiful book with loads of inspiration!

Beautiful book, the drawings and patterns are wonderful. You can make the projects as illustrated or in whatever way adapts to your projects. All the designs are not simplistic, but have simplicity in their beauty. Also the directions, stitches and floss information is excellent. I recommend this book, I am so glad I found it on Amazon. I have several embroidery books and this one is an awesome addition to my selection.

I am a fan of Kathy Schmitz' work. I subscribe to her monthly, small embroidery club and had been eyeing this book for some time. It's so much fun! I have already made two of the projects. The embroidery techniques are fairly basic and I feel that this book would be appropriate for embroidery beginners as well as for those who are experienced. Delightful whimsey and sweet designs make this book a keeper for me. I just ordered her latest book ....

Every Patchwork Place book I have purchased has been exceptional. I will continue to collect every book I can by them.. Way to go Martingale Press..

I gave the book a 4 instead of a 5 because it is too time-consuming and difficult to trace the patterns. The patterns are not as dark as they could have been, and other images/test are on the backside of the patterns. That makes , it difficult (if not impossible) to trace using a light box. I would prefer iron-on transfers. But at the very least, the patterns should be in black, the backside of the patterns should be blank, and pattern pages should be perforated for use. This book (and the other two in the series) would be destroyed if the patters were cut out of the book.

Liked the simple, yet not too primitive designs.

absolutely love the embroidery patterns in book.
