sehr simple Ideen. Nettes Buch mit guten anleitungen aber nichts für mich persöhnlich dabei. Aber schön gestaltetes Buch

A really nice book with lots of helpful tips about the art of embroidery, I'll continue using this book in the future

This book is great for anyone who wants to up their embroidery game! This book introduces new designs and techniques that most embroiders might not be familiar with.

Very happy with this book.
a lot of great ideas and easy-to-follow instructions.
looking forward to my projects!

Another day, another craft book you need for your shelf. Here you can expect all the usuals such as intro section for beginners, FAQs that are actually useful, and patterns done by multiple artists. Despite this, the book still has its own unique feel. The designs are adorable with even one for scrap yarns (and we all need more patterns for those.)

Overall, the book was well-organized and easy to follow.

This work is about the art of embroidery and includes original patterns with helpful instructions. It was compiled by three artists and each artist contributed six patterns to the book.

The book begins with good information for beginners, from transferring patterns to different types of stitches and things to keep an eye out for with your threads (twisting, stripping, etc.). There was also a discussion of shopping locally and supporting small businesses. I enjoyed the page of FAQs, ranging from how long embroidery may take to some personal information about the authors’ own experiences. There was also a section about creating your own patterns, which I found quite helpful. Each pattern included in the book begins with a full-color photograph of the completed pattern with its name, a list of tools and materials, and a thread color guide. Then the line art of the pattern is included for tracing, followed by step-by-step instructions to take the pattern from beginning to end.

There were many fun projects in this book. I quite liked the rainbow pattern as the author points out that it’s a great pattern to use up all your leftover threads from previous projects. There were several projects that embellished clothing, including a small flower garden coming out of a jacket pocket. And of course, there were many patterns centered around flowers and bouquets. The monarch butterfly on the cluster of flowers was especially lovely.

This book is a great resource for beginner embroidery artists or those with more experience who want some inspiration. It would make an excellent addition to any embroiderer’s library and I’m excited to give these patterns a try! My thanks to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group for allowing me to read this work. All thoughts and opinions expressed in this review are my own

Wonderful book for beginner embroidery projects. If you're ready to learn new stitches and advance beyond a kit then this is perfect. Also great for gifting!

A beautiful book that definitely gets the juices flowing and needles threaded! It covers all sorts of information from beginning to end such as the types of tools and materials that will work best right down to authors personal stories. There are 3 authors and each contribute 6 designs. I'm putting this on my wishlist, as with a temporary copy only to read, I wasn't able to complete much.
A lovely addition to any library and I learned an awful lot!

This is a beautiful book on embroidery for beginners. It's colorful and keeps you engaged. The demonstrations of stitches were very helpful. It's a must-read book for someone who is into stitching.

A lovely book with good tips on how to do the different stitches. Took one star off because I wasnt a fan of the patterns.

Practice the mindful art of hand embroidery with 18 gorgeous projects you can use to create home decor, upcycled clothing, and personalized gifts. This is a lovely book which provides plenty of good instructions. The layout and writing style is very accessible to readers. Plenty of inspiration for expert embroiderers as well as those just learning. Overall a great book to have in the library. My thanks to the authors, Netgalley and the publishers for an ARC of Creative Embroidery and Beyond.

Creative Embroidery and Beyond: Inspiration, tips, techniques, and projects from three professional artists by Jenny Billingham, Sophie Timms, and Theresa Wensing is currently scheduled for release on June 6 2023. This book presents hand sewing as accessible and fun. Three artists—Jenny Billingham (@flynn_and_mabel), Theresa Wensing (@get.stitch.done), and Sophie Timms (@mindfulmantra_embroidery)—each present six designs. They are ideal for embroiderers of all skill levels, from total beginners to more advanced. You will find step-by-step embroidery projects featuring flowers, animals, insects, and more; instructions for how to embroider on denim, hats, and t-shirts; primers on essential stitches, including whipstitch and satin stitch; information on embroidery tools and how to use them; advice for threads and brands to use; and more. Embroidery is a fun, accessible art medium that’s proven relaxing and mindful for millions of crafters around the world.

Creative Embroidery and Beyond offers readers exactly what they would expect from this title and description. I thought the instructions and text were helpful and accessible. I like the suggestions and clear instructions for the different supplies and stitches that are most likely to be needed. I thought the pattern, fabric, and project suggestions were nicely rounded. Some were very much to my taste, and others less so, as it should be because we all have things we like to work with more than others. The book has definitely given me some ideas for things to try next- if I ever finish my 'project to do' pile that I already have set up for myself. I think this book might be a good buy for newer crafters, but for experienced crafters might want to check it out from the library.

I love all types of sewing, but hand embroidery really is fantastic for wellbeing and inspiring creativity. This book is full of beautiful embroidery ideas, for making everything from colourful rainbows, to cute camper vans. Each stitch you’ll need is introduced and taught with accompanying photographs, and the actual patterns are clear, simple, and easy to follow - perfect for a total beginner or experienced sewer alike. You can follow the patterns exactly, or use the skills to create your own patterns and ideas. Would definitely recommend.

Nice resource for a beginning. Full of pictures and solid directions. Tips for adapting and making each craft uniquely yours.

A great book of embroidery info and 18 patterns. The book covers supplies and instructions for many types of stitches. The patterns are mostly florals and botanicals, and the full color photos show the pieces step by step. Thread colors to make the projects as shown are listed. Some of the projects are specifically on clothing or a baseball cap, so the instructions related are included, but those patterns could easily be done as a piece of art instead, or you could use the clothing info and one of the patterns not shown on clothing. My rating is a 4 due to the small number of patterns - I wish the book were longer. That said, I do like nearly all of the patterns included, so this book probably has a higher proportion of projects I am interested in than some other books I've looked at.
