Review -
Plant Lady Embroidery: 300 Botanical Embroidery Motifs & Designs to Stitch is a reproduction of a Japanese book that was published by E&G Creates Company Limited. It has been translated to English. As the title indicates, it provides many beautiful embroidery motifs for stitching.
The first section has full-color photos of the motifs stitched by each designer with the name of the plant beside the photo. Use the pattern number by the photo to find the pattern inside the book.
Most of the book has the pattern. On the left side the directions show which stitch to use while the right side shows the clean pattern without words or markings.
I really like the designs in this book and you will be seeing many of these designs in my quote quilt.
I would have liked the color photo closer to the motif, as I find the digital copy cumbersome to move back and forth from the front of the book to the back. It might just be my computer that made scrolling so slow. Even with a physical copy, though, it would be better to have the color copy closer to the pattern. Color makes such a big difference. I found some designs that made me go back to the color to see what it looked like so I was flipping back and forth several times to get the full understanding of the design.
