Such a gorgeous and informative book <3

When I left for the dentist today I was spoiled with this glorious book!! Flicking through it on the bus and in the waiting room has been the highlight of my day!! I’ve purchased a couple of Libby’s pattern and loved everything she’s created and this book is no different, with heaps of tips and explanations and a couple of spectacular patterns! Would definitely recommend this book for all levels of embroidery skill!

This book contains some gorgeous projects that have been thoughtfully put together. There are some smaller motief works for if you don't have time for the larger pieces. They look quite mindful in comforting colour pellets.

Love it, great as beginner or an intermediate

Loved this book! It was easy to use, and as a beginner with a history of sewing, I can catch into it fast. There are definitely some simpler patterns, and then some that are more complex, or challenge your ability to make stitches evenly across a whole piece.Only a 4/7 because some of the patterns are missing a floss color, or don’t mention you’ll need three skeins of a certain color, so be aware when you’re working through a pattern.

What a beautiful design and colour. I brought up with my mother's embroidered clothes. I like the embroidery generally but I did not want to decorate my house and clothes with good old French style designed embroidery. Her style of embroidery design is something new and bit boho style, and I love it. The book is probably not for an absolute beginner but you can still look through the beautiful design to inspire you.

Lovely embroidery guidebook.

Beautiful guidebook with lovely patterns. I love the modern look of it as well as the ease of the patterns. The instructions and picture examples of the stitches are easy to follow. I can’t wait to tackle my first project from it once the new year settles in.

This is a very helpful book on embroidery. We used her designs as well as mixed aspects of her patterns with other designs we had. If you are wanting to learn embroidery, this is a good book.

There are not many ( read hardly ANY) stitchery books out there with an edge. This,I hope, is one of many to come. I do not like cross stitch. There. I said it. Out loud. For ALL to hear. Loathe it. Boring and makes me cross eyed. I adore stitchery and tapestry. I do lots of my own. This book resonates with me as you can adapt the patterns, change the colours, make them your own. I’ve started one within hours of buying the book. With a few changes... I do hope there are more like this to come. Thank you Sarah xx

This book makes embroidery approachable and exciting!

So many beautiful patterns and ideas, Libby has filled this book with stunning (and very helpful) photography and step by step details. This makes embroidery approachable and exciting. The thread colors and art selections are so much fun - this book is just a delight!
