Synopsis

Known for abstract embroideries rich in colour and surface detail, Emily Botelho presents 12 projects shaped by three settings: coastal, mountain and urban. The book follows her creative process, from gathering inspiration and building bespoke fabric backgrounds to finishing each piece with a wide mix of stitches, beads and found items.

Alongside sumptuous photography, creative insights, helpful advice and an additional gallery section, she encourages close observation of the natural world on your doorstep. With no patterns or step-by-step instructions, the emphasis is on intuitive, slow stitching and deciding for yourself when a piece is complete, so every result remains individual.
