Art Makers: Empowered Embroidery features instructions for illustration, basic stitches and embroidery techniques. Also the book includes 6 projects with portraits of famous women. I love the portraits of Frida Kahlo and Ruth Bader Ginsburg and I can't wait to start these projects. A great book for more advanced embroiderers. I only wish the book included more than 6 projects.

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

This book was around 3.5 stars for me.

The embroidery is beautiful! But I was expecting more patterns and options. The patterns included are beautiful but also very detailed and time intensive. There are patterns of inspiring women like Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Michelle Obama, and Frida Kahlo.

There's helpful information on getting started with embroidery like how to choose your fabric and supplies as well as pictures of each stitch. Overall it's a helpful guide but not as in depth as I was hoping for.

As the very title suggests book provides step by step instructions how to embroider six empowering women including: Frida Khalo, Eleanor Roosevelt, Maya Angelou, Harriet Tubman, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Michelle Obama. At the very beginning of the book we get a guided tour of essential tools and meterials together with stitching techniques. If you are looking for something more to embroider than the empowering ladies the book is not for you. It's strictly focused on creating six hoops with aforementioned women.

Empowered Embroidery by Amy L. Frazer is a collection of creative projects and patterns to learn embroidery. I picked up this book because I have just begun embroidering myself. This collection features basic stitches and also several powerful women throughout history such as Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Michele Obama, and Frida Kahlo to name a few.

I would love to eventually get many of these pivotal women. I do suspect this book is for more advanced embroiders but I appreciate that the end of the book comes with a useful list of supplies to get to begin embroidering.

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

As a beginner at embroidery, I greatly appreciated the step-by-step photos and instructions of things I've only seen online. Learning how to add dimension to my stitch work is something I'll begin to experiment with now that I have an idea how it's done. This is a great title for beginners as it addresses everything from basic supplies to how to transfer designs, another place I took notes. The portraits were not something I would stitch personally, but the designs were very beautiful and no so detailed a beginner could not be successful.

This is a book I'd love to own and gift to many women who embroider. I love the adorable and empowered embroiders and how colourful they are. I cannot wait to get my needles and start working on them. Excellent book.

Amazing! Amy L. Frazer has made such a fantastic job!
Her illustrations and embroidery are thoroughly made. So little details!
Thanks to her job, you can embroider these iconic women: Frida Kahlo, Eleanor Roosevelt, Maya Angelou, Harriet Tubman, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Michelle Obama.
Stitches are clearly explained and the author gives useful tips too. You can even apply the thread painting technique, because it's very well explained too. Every part of the project is explained step by step, so as you can see, all you need is to get down to work.
I'd love to embroider Frida Kahlo!
