INTRODUCTION

Modern hand embroidery, to me, is the idea of creating more with less.

Mastering just a few stitches and, as I like to think of it, ‘painting with thread’ allows for less time focusing on techniques and more time focusing on the art itself. The possibilities are boundless and, with the help of this book, you will be able to begin your journey into floral hand embroidery.

The projects at the end of the book show where you can take these designs, and what you can ultimately create once you have absorbed all aspects of modern floral hand embroidery, the Gulush way!
