Book excerpt: Flowers are ideal subjects for embroidery because of their organic shapes and timeless appeal. While they are rooted in the rich tradition of floral embroidery, these designs have a clean and contemporary palette and subtle shading. The patterns include small pincushion designs, scissor cases, and small pictures as well as larger cushion and tablecloth designs. Cross-stitch and needlepoint designs are included, to encourage crafters to try some new techniques.
