I have seen many of these embroidery samplers on social media, each one personal, telling a story of the individual and their year long journey.I don’t think you need to be an advanced embroiderer to be able to create a beautiful doodle of your days, months and year. It is a wonderful way of highlighting special events, moods and things to remember. It will also be a mindful and relaxing way to spend an hour each day to reflect on how you are and what you doing.This book is just divine. From start to finish Steph Arnold holds your hand and gives you quality advice, from sorting your threads, choosing your fabric and the size of your hoops.There are step-by-step visual and written instructions for 15 embroidery stitches which are so easy to understand you really cannot go wrong.
