Patchwork Embroidery

by Aimee Ray

Patchwork isn’t just for quilts! By sewing different pieces of fabric together, stitchers can also make bags, clothing, toys, artwork, housewares, and much more. Add embroidery to the mix, and the possibilities are endless. Bestselling author Aimee Ray (the “Doodle Stitching” series) has whipped up 21 great gift ideas that showcase the versatility of both patchwork and embroidery. They all feature Aimee’s popular signature motifs, and include place mats, napkins, tablet covers, pillows, banners, and even an array of baby items.

Beautiful book. Am interested in taking up this art! The basics in first pages, and what is needed is great. The advanced embroidery ideas and more is delightful, hope to come back to it in the future to apply? For now, will get some supplies as suggested and start the basic embroiders and practise-

Some fun projects, inspiration for combining patchwork and embroidery. This book doesn't have a disk with motifs, like her other books. Instead, they're printed in the book, which makes it more difficult to recreate them.

The book didn't quite have what I was looking for (I'm patching an old blanket passed down from my grandfather to make an heirloom piece), but it did have quite a few quaint projects!

If you like simple embroidery and patchwork then this is a great book. There are some very cute designs that could be adapted to a variety of projects. To read my full review and see a sample project then visit my blog, Wavoki Crafts.
