As a beginner at embroidery, I greatly appreciated the step-by-step photos and instructions of things I've only seen online. Learning how to add dimension to my stitch work is something I'll begin to experiment with now that I have an idea how it's done. This is a great title for beginners as it addresses everything from basic supplies to how to transfer designs, another place I took notes. The portraits were not something I would stitch personally, but the designs were very beautiful and no so detailed a beginner could not be successful.

This is a book I'd love to own and gift to many women who embroider. I love the adorable and empowered embroiders and how colourful they are. I cannot wait to get my needles and start working on them. Excellent book.

Amazing! Amy L. Frazer has made such a fantastic job!
Her illustrations and embroidery are thoroughly made. So little details!
Thanks to her job, you can embroider these iconic women: Frida Kahlo, Eleanor Roosevelt, Maya Angelou, Harriet Tubman, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Michelle Obama.
Stitches are clearly explained and the author gives useful tips too. You can even apply the thread painting technique, because it's very well explained too. Every part of the project is explained step by step, so as you can see, all you need is to get down to work.
I'd love to embroider Frida Kahlo!
