Stumpwork Flowers

I have been interested in silk ribbon embroidery for some time and have just recently seen it coming back. Related to that is stump work embroidery as well as Brazilian embroidery, both of which I am activity involved with now. The stump work flowers book is a great addition with great details about how to make the flowers as well as helpful hints. I am excited about trying even more projects using these techniques.

Stumpwork Flowers by Sachiko Morimoto is an ideal book for beginning embroiderers who want to try dimensional embroidery techniques. The projects are beautiful and small - perfect for a weekend of stitching. They can be adapted to all kinds of finishes, too, from framed pieces, to box tops, to needle books, to mounting on greeting cards. The instructions in the book are clear and precise, with excellent diagrams and step by step photos. If you are just getting into stumpwork and are looking for good, clear instructions, this is a great place to start!

It is beyond my expectation. Clear, concise instructions, beautiful photographs, a simple project for each technique. I even bought 2, one for me, and one for my best needleworking friend. We are starting work on the same project, and keeping it secret till we are finished. This book is a joy to own.

This book contains wonderful pictures of each design. The instructions are well done, up-close photos and so many techniques included. Overall a book I am glad to have in my library for instruction & inspiration.

This is an excellent book. There are easier patterns to learn on and harder patterns to hone your skills. I am looking for more by this author. I also like that the patterns are attractive enough to actually display or give as gifts.

The many projects offered in this book are dainty, realistic, and numerous for such a small book. Many of the flowers, but not all, are offered twice with slightly different versions, giving more variety. I am very pleased with this purchase.

An inspiration and pleasure to read and drool over. Each motif is clearly photographed, the process explained in exacting detail and well-illustrated steps. I've done several stump-work classes, all from big-name teachers and this is about to guide me beyond anything I had learned. Highly recommended.

Beautiful book with simple clear instructions!

Meraviglioso. Lavori splendidi e spiegazioni dettagliate con spiegazione di tutti i punti

super livre j'aime beaucoup , il est bien détaillé et explique chaque broderie en détail, l'auteur a vraiment mis tout son cœur sa se vois .

I bought this book in April and worked my way through all 19 plants and flowers, ignoring the actual projects. I found the instructions confusing to begin with and I didn't always think the choice of colour or stitch was appropriate with a few plants but that didn't lessen my enjoyment. Some of the pieces were easy and some were more of a challenge. The improvement in my embroidery skills was definitely due to stitching these pieces. Before a piece was finished I was sneaking a look at the next one. Even if you never put needle to fabric, this is a lovely book to look at.

El libro es muy bueno para comenzar en el bordado tridimensional. Tiene proyectos muy interesantes, y te enseña todo lo básico que necesitas saber. Me encantó y lo recomiendo a cualquiera. Suerte!

È un libro decisamente molto bello ed affascinante
