By Sachiko Morimoto Stumpwork Flowers (Reprint)

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.

This is the best book I have used in such a long time, Sachiko is a brilliant teacher and explains everything in an easy way. Her work is beautifully created, and if you have the chance to see her work it will render you speechless . Thankyou so much for such a lovely book, another one please.

This book is absolutely exquisite and would enthral either an embroiderer or a plant lover. A joy yo read

Such delicate stumpwork flower designs and clear instructions on how to make them. I am really impressed with this book and have already tried a few of the basic stitches successfully. Next goal is to make a set of three and have them framed.

Beautiful book. Haven't tried anything yet but the pictures are lovely and good instructions.

This is a beautifully illustrated gem of a book. It is not as exhaustive as some other books I've seen, but well illustrated and very clearly explained. It contains a few projects instead of generic instructions, but nonetheless is very useful in its clarity.

A beautiful book bought for me as a present. Illustrations are works of art. Clear diagrams and instructions - very easy to follow. Would recommend to anyone wanting to develop their skills.

The book arrived before suggested delivery date. It is a beautifully illustrated book and several of my friends have seen it and are going to order it. Can't wait to do some of the stump work shown.

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

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!

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!

È un libro decisamente molto bello ed affascinante

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.
