Weekend Review: The Art of Embroidery Design

The Art of Embroidery Design / Christi  Johnson
Storey, c2025.
200 p.


February brings us Embroidery Month, and so I'm going to share some stitching books this month. Starting with this excellent new release! I can't really say much about it, however, as it was one I reviewed for a professional journal. You can read my review for Library Journal here

Word count is limited in my professional reviews, so I did want to just add that not only did Johnson illustrate the cover, but many pieces are shared inside as well. And traditional needlework is shown in context also. This is a fantastic book that any stitcher who wants to start creating their own meaningful work will want to own. Great design principles, encouragement, and inspiration. Five stars!
