Welcome to Botanical Bliss, an Embroidery Made Easy book.

As an avid embroiderer, I've always found endless inspiration in the delicate intricacies and vibrant colours of the natural world. This book is my way of bringing that beauty to you, with patterns that are not only easy for beginners to stitch but also a joy to create.Embroidery has been a passion of mine for many years, and it all started with a fascination for the tiny details that make up the natural world. From romantic sprays of wildflowers to the lush greenery of forests and woods, nature's designs are perfect subjects for embroidery. Each pattern in this book captures a piece of that natural wonder, making it accessible for anyone to recreate with just a needle and thread. It has always been more than just a craft for me; it's a form of meditation; a way to unwind and reco nnect. In our non-stop world, finding little moments of peace can be challenging, but that's where embroidery comes in! It offers a soothing rhythm, allowing you to switch off and find tranquillity in the simple act of stitching. The benefits of mindful embroidery are huge, from reducing stress and anxiety to improving concentration and nurturing creativity.
