A single motif can be used to brcreate a nearly endless number of patterns, just by changing the color brscheme or orientation. pp ppIn addition to over 20 floral brmotifs, the book also includes instructions for ten embroidered brprojects, such as purses, brooches, drawstring pouches, sachets, and brbookmarks. These beautiful hand embroidered items brighten up everyday brlife and make thoughtful gifts. pp ppExperiment with pattern and color as you join Alice Makabe on a stitching journey inspired by the art of botanical embroidery.p
