Synopsis

Taking inspiration from nature, this stunning variety of stitched projects offers a fantastic array of flowers, insects, butterflies, and birds, which utilize an intriguing range of materials and methods. The mixed-media techniques involved include ribbon work, appliqué, fabric manipulation, beading, and stumpwork. Accompanied by stitch diagrams and templates, the projects are geared to help both novices and experts extend their embroidery skills. From a quick and easy dragonfly to exotic passion flowers and three-dimensional fruit, each finished piece represents a unique vision of the outdoor world.
