I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is a brilliant book for beginners or people who find it difficult to concentrate. The patterns are quick and simple and very cute.

What a beautiful book! Full of fun projects that are well-planned and executed.

Standouts for me: illuminate, lovely lemons, and day at the beach.

I felt it was well laid out, and explained clearly and it helped me grow my repertoire as an embroiderist.

30 Day Challenge: Embroidery : A Day-by-Day Guide to Learn New Stitches and Create Beautiful Designs. This is a brilliant way to get started with embroidery. Each day sets a new challenge for you to follow. There are step by step instructions, new stitches to learn, inspiring ideas and so much more. The book is bursting with pictures and ideas and would make a lovely gift.

My thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for my e-ARC!

I'd consider myself intermediate in terms of embroidery skills, so I primarily downloaded this book with the hopes of learning some more complicated techniques like the basketweave stitch and brick stitch. Youtube is usually my go-to for learning new techniques, as I like to see someone do it. It takes a little more time for me to make sense of the diagrams and text-based instructions of this book, but I think coupled with a Youtube tutorial, I'll have mastered them in no time!

The patterns included are very cute, especially the two larger ones at the end. I'll definitely be doing both of them once I've had a bit more practice with the new stitches. I also appreciate the backing tips!

As a novice embroiderer, I loved this book! It took you through various stitches and offered small projects to hone your skills. If you’re interested in embroidery, get this book!

This book is adorable! It takes basic embroidery stitches and makes such cute designs. This is fu. For beginners and advanced embroidery fans! Challenging the reader to do a new project each day is so fun! I’m a big fan of this book and can’t wait to challenge myself!

I love the concept of this book, as a 30 day challenge to learn embroidery stitches and skills. This is a fantastic book for beginners, as each pattern seems to focus on/teach a new stitch type, and skills build as you work through the book. I appreciated that the first patterns started fairly simply. The book does cover supplies, pattern transfer, and finishing projects also, in addition to a couple of bonus more complex patterns. There are templates included for everything.
I do wish that perhaps rather than having 30 distinct patterns/projects (which if you completed them all would be lots of fabric and lots of finished items) that as an alternative the author has shown perhaps some ways to build on to some of the projects.

A great book for beginners in embroidery. Detailed instructions and illustrations will help the reader to get a new hobby. The interesting idea of the challenge gradually improves the skills of the embroiderer.

I loved the idea of a 30-day challenge to jumpstart a new skill or to refresh an old one. I thought the Embroidery Challenge might be something that I could dip into for myself if I wanted to learn a new stitch or refresh my skills as well as using it to teach my grand-daughter to embroider. I still have memories of tray clothes and crinoline ladies that I would rather not dredge up! This uncomplicated and pleasingly present book contains 30 projects which are cleanly presented without excess words. All the projects look like something that could be completed quickly and not cost a lot. The project gallery begins with the basic stitches and become manageably more complex. My own favourite is ‘dandelion wishes’ as it uses a stitch I’ve never seen before and because the finished project is very stylish. I also like the fact that the embroideries are worked on different colour backgrounds. All the projects would make cute gifts, could easily be turned into cards or could transform a room with a personal touch. I shall be buying a job lot of embroidery hoops.
Key information and guidance at the start of the book provides clear advice to ensure that a novice stitcher ends up with a beautiful finished piece. All the projects are presented on a double page spread using a standard format. Each stitch is explained with the help of a diagram. It helped to have a sample of the finished stitch to look at while working the instructions. The chattiness, personal asides and tips ensured that the instructions were all manageable for a novice stitcher. My grand-daughter and I loved the bonus challenge and the ideas for what embroidery might be used for – no tray cloths or endless framed pictures here- I’m delighted to report. Jessica Anderson has produced a book which is a keeper.

This short book provides designs and instructions for beginners and more experienced embroiderers alike. Take a look at the materials needed: with one quick trip to your local hobby store or website, you will be able to create 30 designs for a modest fee.

This book is an AMAZING resource for anyone getting into embroidery. I became very casually interested in embroidery during the pandemic and had only done the kits you can purchase off of Amazon or at craft stores but was interested in learning more and being able to do my own projects. This book gives you step by step instructions for projects (including traceable templates), bonus challenges, other ideas for how to use embroidery, and teaches you how to do a variety of stitches. I will absolutely be referring to this book time and time again and fully plan to commit to the 30 days of projects!

Love this book, so many great projects, I want to try all of them!

Thank you NetGalley for my complimentary copy in return for my honest review.

This is so great! My friend made me an embroidery hanging for my birthday, inspiring me to try to do more on my own. I like how this has 30 designs I can start with to work on my skills, as well as detailed pictures and instructions. It also includes tips if you want to try embroidering accessories like bags or shirts! Can't wait to start on these 30 designs.

I've done cross stitch as a hobby for years but never embroidery. I fancied giving it a go but had no real idea where to start so needed a guide for the complete novice, and this is the book for that. It covers every piece of equipment you will need, provides templates for the projects (and even suggests which pen is best used to put the transfer on your work) and shows you how to finish each work to display.

Clearly laid out with projects that start from the basic to more complicated stitches, I really liked the fact that even the first project with the most basic stitch left me with something beautiful. Each project is lovely in its own right and helps you build on what you're producing to help you gain confidence for bigger works in the future. I can't wait to work my way through them all!

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an advance copy in return for an honest review.

The book design is charming and appealing, the chosen colour palette for the book matches the vibes of the embroidery pattern. This book has made me want to pick up a new project to try some of these out. The book is relatively beginner friendly and the designs are appealing and modern, well suited for younger and new embroiderers.

This is such a great collection of embroidery stitches! I cannot wait for the physical book to come out so I can have the traceable patterns! So many different projects with all the instruction you need!

Great beginner level embroidery designs and instructions. Cute modern designs. I will purchase a copy for our middle school library and use it with our embroidery and sewing club. Nice clear instructions for each stitch and I like the concept of the 30 day challenge. Starts with basic stitches and each subsequent design adds instructions for another stitch. I have been embroidering for many years but I’ll be using this book to make some lovely gifts also.

Thanks NetGalley for the digital arc.

I have never embordered before but I have always wanted to and this book is a great start. Everything is laid out nice with very easy to follow pictures. I especially liked the stitch glossary with a lot of really great beginner stitches.

I want to thank Netgalley and the author for gifting me the ebook.
Beautiful photos and easy to read instructions. Such cute patterns and perfect for all levels of embroidery. These would be really cute for Christmas gifts, pillow cases, aprons etc. I can't wait to try some.

I have been learning how to embroider lately, so this book is right up my alley.

It has good description of each stitch, and a fun layout. I enjoyed that each mini project featured one type of stitch and could be completed in a couple of hours. The designs for the projects are cute and modern, and I want to make each and every one.

Thank you to Quarto Publishing group-Quarry for providing me with an ARC of this book to read and review.
