A Year of Embroidery by Yumiko Higuchi

Give each month more beauty by stitching embroidery motifs with unique seasonal designs. Follow the course of a year—from snow flowers and skiing bears in January to lily of the valley in May, a collection of seed pods in October, trumpeting angels in December, and much more—to enliven your embroidery with a seasonal flair.

Through thirty-eight patterns, designer Yumiko Higuchi offers organic yet modern designs with colorful and detailed imagery and a sweet and lively feel. Stitch projects to display as art or transform your work into small projects you can use.

With beautiful photographs, clear step-by-step instructions, and detailed diagrams, A Year of Embroidery offers dynamic and unique designs that will inspire embroiderers of all skill levels.

Verb has a lovely collection of naturally dyed embroidery floss that we dye in house!  Don’t forget your embroidery hoop!
