Giveaway-Edgy Embroidery: Transform Conventional Stitches into 25 Unconventional Designs

Leave a comment in today’s post by March 22, 2018 and you are in the running for this pretty and fun embroidery design book.

Open to U.S. residents only please.

Bold Designs That Don’t Follow the Rules

Embroidery isn’t just florals anymore, it’s a moth with pinned wings, an old haunted house on a hill or a cow skull with a flower crown. You won’t find “home sweet home” here, but you will find “Can U Not” or “Don’t Be A Prick.” Renee Rominger, founder of Moonrise Whims, designs projects for a new generation. And whether you just started and need a solid foundation, or you’re an expert looking to enhance your art, Edgy Embroidery will teach you something new, fun and easy.

Renee not only shows you how to conquer basic techniques, but also how to create more complex stitches like her unique Moonrise Roses. With pattern templates, detailed stitch tutorials and instructions on how to complete each design, every one of these 25 projects will be wall-worthy.

This is definitely not your grandmother’s embroidery.
