The Embroidered Garden - Kazuko Aoki

From Kazuko Aoki, The Embroidered Garden is a paperback embroidery book that stitches through the seasons of a flower garden. Across forty motifs, it explores roses and wildflowers that appear from season to season, alongside the bees and butterflies drawn to their nectar. Exquisite in detail and artfully rendered, the designs are presented with a simple, modern aesthetic that makes the projects visually striking on the page and inspiring to recreate with needle and thread.

For those new to embroidery, the book includes detailed how-to illustrations to guide you through the techniques. Alongside individual motifs, you’ll also find projects that apply the embroidery to finished pieces, including brooches, notebook covers, pin cushions and pouches—ideal for building skills while creating items to use or gift.
