30 stunning nature-inspired embroidery projects including flowers, plants, sea life, feathers, insects and the elements.

The old crafts and skills are both mindful and useful, but they can often help to create and reflect beauty, too. Tapping into the natural world, Natasja Hjerrild Rosenquist from Lille Klode and designer Ragna Mouritzen teach you how to make beautiful embroidered motifs for clothing, napkins, linens or accessories.

With motifs such as dandelion, swallow, mussel and oak leaf, this nature-inspired collection of creativity allows the translation of the outdoors onto fabric in simple steps. With a guide to all the basic stitches as well step-by-step instructions for each embroidery design, the book is also filled with stunning natural photography if you are looking for inspiration for motifs, colours and new stitches.

This is the perfect way to relax and unwind, to discover a new skill if you are an embroidery beginner, or a stunning source of inspiration for more experienced crafters.
