Hoop art and embroidery are so popular right now and I can't wait to try it! This book is filled with lots of easy to understand directions and pictures of every step, plus the project ideas are beautiful!

I loved this beautiful guide to embroidering on organza! Each page was so lovely, and all the projects were really pretty. This would be a wonderful addition to any craft-lover's bookshelf.

Ok! I am obsessed with this book! Especially since I’m a beginner when it comes to embroidery this book is filled not only with inspiration in each page BUT also instructions that are easy to follow! I cannot wait to work on a few projects found within these pages!

4.5 Stars!! In this book, the author teaches the lost art of Embroidery... on sheer fabric! The cover of this book caught my attention and I wanted to be able to make beautiful artwork like that too! This book shows and tells how. It has a good amount of pictures to go along with the clear instructions. It gives a list of what you’ll need, along with explanations on why you need it. I followed along, trying to make a flower but I’m afraid I don’t have the patience for embroidery. After 10 minutes, I was bored and it wasn’t coming out like the authors picture, so I quit. I know, I know, she’s been practicing this art form for longer than me, of course my first try won’t be great and I should finish it, but, in all honesty, I probably won’t. Still, hats off to the author on her patience, her skills in embroidery and in her ability to actually finish writing a book! (I’ve been “writing” my book for 10 plus years!)

I just love this book, I love organza, and embroidery onto organza makes the work look like it is suspended on air and the stitches truly appreciated. The cacti is my favorite in this book although the sunflower comes a close second. This is not a big book, but its smallness is well made up by it content. The book starts with a get started page and moves on to stitch glossary which are very beautifully photographed. The next part has 12 beautiful projects to copy or use and colour as one would like.
Such lovely fine work

The needlework in this book was amazing! I have done some embroidery and cross stitch over the years, but this book was just so inspirational, I can't wait to try my hand at it. The translucency of the organza is just so lovely! The floss stitches just pop against it. Just lovely! I think the book would make a fine addition to a embroiderer's repertoire of needlework. The photos were a very nice addition to the book and pretty helpful.

Such beautiful work and really inspiring. Even though embroidery is a fairly recent hobby of mine, I felt like the instructions were very clear and easy enough to understand. The book also gave me the courage to try and work with sheer fabrics like organza.

Definitely better than looking up guides online, which can often be in other languages, wrongly translated etc.

This is a lovely book. Suitable for both the beginner and the more experienced embroiderer. For beginners, the information is clear and well set out. Good explanations of the materials and how to use them - particularly the part about buying and using organza. The stitches and the projects are all photographed step by step all the way through. For the more experienced embroiderer, the designs are fresh, bright and very effective. I particularly like that the majority of the designs are full size so easy to trace off and use. Only one design needs to be scaled up. 5 stars from me. This is my voluntary review after receiving a free copy of the book.

This embroidery book focuses on using sheer organza fabric, which I've never thought of before but has an amazing look! I liked how it started with basics about tools/materials and stitches, and then gave some ideas of projects. I really want to try some of these out in the future!

Organza Hoop Art
Embroidery Techniques and Projects for Sheer Stitching
by Sarah Godfrey
This is a book I requested from NetGalley and the review is voluntary. This is a beautiful book showing how to take embroidery to the clear and delicate organza material. Beautiful pictures, patterns, and clear steps. I am definitely trying this! Recommend to anyone wanting to expand your embroidery or for newbies.

I had never thought about embroidering on sheer fabric, but the effect is beautiful. The flower patterns are beautiful, but of course patterns from elsewhere could be used, too.

This is a well done embroidery book that focuses on embroidering on sheer organza fabric, which makes it a bit more difficult since you have to make sure the back is also tidy. There are really lovely stitches shown and there are lots of color photos for every step. There aren't very many patterns (12) but some of them are very pretty and I love the effects. They are generally botanical. One of my grown daughters makes embroidery patches for sale on denim, and while her materials and aesthetic are completely different I think she'd really enjoy a few of these patterns and ideas too.

I read a temporary digital ARC of this book for review.

This is a beautiful book and embroidering onto organza is not something I had thought of. It has beautiful illustrations and easy to follow step by step instructions. I can’t wait to give this a try!

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

Thus is a helpful overview to embroidery and guides you through several projects. I like his Sarah Godfrey lists the materials needed. The projects looked cute and I’m excited to try some of these patterns out!

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

This is a helpful guide to embroidery!

Godfrey lists the materials you need for the patterns included in this book. There's information on choosing your material and how to do each included stitch. The patterns are cute and fun! Some are elaborate while others feel more approachable.

Overall it's a good guide for some fun embroidery projects!

This is a great guide for making gorgeous hoop art. I love the idea of using organza as a base, it really elevates the look of what you invasion when it comes to the craft. There is a lot of detail into different techniques and materials, as well as a number of different patterns- everything from flowers to animals to a cup of coffee.
It's definitely inspired me to get stitching!
Many thanks to Landauer Publishing and NetGalley for the advance copy.

This book is very detailed and perfect for the beginner embroiderer. This book also gives the artist a lot of room for inspiration.

This is a great book for beginners. The author introduces the basics then give you a step by step tutorial on each project. It’s great if you’ve never done embroidery before. I’m excited for all the projects this will inspire.
