Friendly Embroidery
This tiny tome packs a lot in! It features sweet embroidery projects with detailed and close-up photos illustrating the book. The projects are beautifully photographed and include more unusual embroidery stitches and techniques. (Note that the photos here are composites to show examples of entire projects alongside details. In the book, these are on separate pages.)
Note that the book is written in Japanese, but patterns and schematics are included. Crafters who cannot read Japanese but who have some embroidery experience are usually able to interpret the instructions without any trouble, and others can use the projects as inspiration for their own creations.
