Step into Kazuko Aoki’s enchanting world of garden-themed embroidery.

You’ll get a glimpse into her creative process, from sketching and selecting thread colors to stitching tips and techniques, as well as a behind-the-scenes look at her atelier, garden, and other inspiring locales.

The book has been thoughtfully designed with makers in mind. It features a lay-flat binding, which makes tracing the embroidery templates from the book a breeze. All embroidery templates are printed at full size, so there’s no need to enlarge anything. Larger templates are included on a separate pattern sheet.

In addition to dozens of botanical motifs, you’ll also find designs based on the author’s favorite things in life: food, travel, and design. Projects include samplers, collages, patches, bags, table linens, and more! This book is full of beautiful inspiration and ideas for stitching and enjoying the little things in life.
