Calming blues from a day at the beach, the soft white tones of clouds and seashells—we never tire of pairing shades of blue with white. In this book, author Kozue Yazawa draws inspiration from the natural world and her own surroundings, using an array of classic nautical motifs to evoke a sense of elegance and nostalgia. Lessons demonstrate the basic embroidery stitches and give tips for tracing the templates, making it easy to embroider these designs even if you've never picked up a hoop and needle before. These projects are easy to complete quickly, but fun to savor slowly, leaving room for creativity. Let be just the start of adding this well-loved color scheme to your favorite things.
