From botanical latticework to chickens laying eggs, designer Yumiko Higuchi's latest collection brings 42 inspired embroidery patterns to life — flowering apple trees, carousel horses, intertwining ribbons, and European-style houses among them. Each of the 21 guided projects translates these whimsical, seamlessly repeating motifs into beautiful finished pieces: fabric book covers, vine crowns, floral bracelets, and rose-adorned tote bags, all accompanied by full-color step-by-step instructions covering stitch types, thread colors, and materials. Whether you're picking up a needle for the first time or returning to a beloved craft, there's something here to delight and inspire.
