Stitching through the Seasons - Yumiko Higuchi

From Yumiko Higuchi, Stitching through the Seasons is a paperback hand-embroidery book that explores month-by-month motifs inspired by the changing year. Across 56 unique embroidery pieces, the designs move through seasonal themes including fall pumpkins and mushroom wreaths, winter skiers, spring blossoms and summer vegetables, offering a varied collection to return to throughout the year.

Each month opens with an emblem of the month number—such as a poppy wreath for May, a viny pumpkin for October, and sprigs of mistletoe and Christmas roses for December—followed by patterns that continue the seasonal story. Every design is supported by step-by-step instructions, with stitch types, thread colours by number and thread type clearly set out. A dedicated section on stitches and knots helps guide beginners, while the breadth of motifs keeps the book engaging for more experienced embroiderers. Suitable for adding decorative stitchwork to a range of fabrics and surfaces, it’s designed to support creative projects from clothing to home textiles and more.
