I've written and designed patterns and projects for two hand embroidery books!
Doodle Stitching, Fresh & Fun Embroidery for Beginners, and Doodle Stitching: The Motif Collection
Each book contains detailed instructions and stitch guides, fun projects, and lots of embroidery patterns!
Doodle Stitching has 29 easy to sew projects with an embroidery pattern for each one, The Motif Collection has 17 sewing projects,
over 400 embroidery motif patterns and a CD with all the files so you can combine them and create your own designs!
Either book is great for beginners or seasoned stitchers alike.
You can find them in bookstores or online, or get signed copies at my etsy shop. :)

Here are some other fun books I've contributed to that you might enjoy. Look for them in bookstores or online!
