The large side is appliqué, combined with the delicate expression of embroidery...

Applique gave me a childish impression, but
This is a book about applique and embroidery for adults that has a warm, nostalgic feel, but is somehow fresh.
There are many wonderful embroidery artists, but Ms. Higuchi's work is always wonderful! cute! I want to make them at the same time! I think so.

Arrange modest lilies of the valley, small daisies, and dandelions,
A mature, classic floral pattern embroidered on commercially available linen cloth.
Doilies with four hydrangea patterns in the center.

By using subdued and chic colors, you can create a pattern that is suitable for adults.
I can't make large-scale works, so I'm happy to see designs that can be used for small items.

I want to use it for pouches and book covers.

This is the first book written by Yumiko Higuchi, the embroidery artist who is attracting the most attention today, on the subject of ``appliqué embroidery.'' It is an applique with a sophisticated design that adult women can use in their daily lives. 

Mainly flowers and plants, but motifs such as insects and birds are displayed in tasteful colors and exquisitely spaced arrangements. I'm sure everyone will exclaim, "So cute!" and want to make it. Appliqué uses fabric to represent the surface of the design, so it is appealing because it can be finished faster than embroidery. Applique techniques and embroidery basics are explained in detail, so even beginners can rest assured.

 A total of 40 works are featured, including examples of practical items such as bags and pouches.
