季節のお花で暮らしに彩りを 187の刺繍デザイン 青木和子さんのお庭から
These botanical embroidery patterns bring 187 garden flowers to your hoop, designed and stitched by Kazuko Aoki. Every flower is a tiny botanical portrait: a photo of the finished sample, a clear outline to trace, and numbered steps naming each stitch and thread color. Pansies, crocus, dandelions and cosmos are arranged by season, so you can follow the garden year from early spring to winter.
Garden Flower Embroidery Designs Taken Straight From Kazuko Aoki’s Garden
Many flower embroidery books lean on generic bouquets. Here, every bloom comes from the author’s own garden, so petals, buds, leaves and berries look the way they really grow. Each motif is finished with its flower name stitched in script, turning a single stem into a neat botanical label.
- Designs drawn at actual size in the book, ready to trace
- A photo of the stitched sample beside every outline, so you can match colors and stitch direction
- A short note on each flower and how it grows in the garden

Relaxing Flower Embroidery Ideas to Stitch Slowly and Turn Into Gifts
The book shows how far one small motif can travel. Stitch a single flower on a drawstring pouch, line up herbs along the hem of an apron, or gather many squares into a wall hanging. The same pattern looks new in different threads and fabrics, so you will return to it again and again. Put the phone down and enjoy an unhurried evening with busy hands.

Is Flower Embroidery for Beginners Easy? Stitches and Basics Included
Yes, if you start small. Aoki’s designs are built from basic stitches, so they suit first-timers while still giving experienced stitchers room to refine their shading. The basics pages cover materials and tools, tracing a pattern, setting fabric in a hoop, preparing thread, and starting and finishing knots. A stitch guide explains straight, back, outline, lazy daisy, fly, split, leaf, satin and long and short stitch, plus french knots and couching, with photos and step diagrams. Ribbon and bead details add a little extra for your next project.
