Doodle Stitching Embroidery Art

Aimee Ray, author of a whole series of ‘doodle stitching’ books, has a new book out called Doodle Stitching Embroidery Art.

Great minds, or at least doodl-y minds, think alike! :-)

Doodling with stitches and thread is one of my favourite things to do (I’m sure you’re not surprised by this!) and I have enjoyed looking through Aimee’s new book. We are both doodlers, and in some ways we are similar and in some ways we are different. Complementary, you might say.

Which is to say, if you like my work/my books, I think you will like Aimee’s too. If you’re not already familiar with them?

Doodle Stitching Embroidery Art of course has a bunch of embroidery patterns with Aimee’s signature use of pastel-y (but also bold) colours. What I really like is how she expands beyond just fabric in a hoop for her embroideries. There is an embroidery on stretched canvas, embroidered softies based on her son’s drawings, embroidered patches and more. And there are lots of different embroidery ideas.

I am a little obsessed with Aimee’s Stitch-A-Day Journal Sampler, it is the embroidery on the cover of the book. She added some stitching to this every day for a year and posted it on Instagram and I loved following it. Whether I’ll ever do something similar, who knows, but I love-love-love the idea! :-)

If you love embroidery, and love making embroidery patterns your own, I think you’d really like this book. It is full of creative ideas and I wish it had been around when I first started doing embroidery.

    This ebook sounds like it is full of fun creative embroidery ideas. The Stutch-A-Day Journal Sampler on the cover looks amazing.

      Oops – should be “Stitch-A-Day”, not “Stutch”. 😆

    I’m so glad Aimee Ray has recruited you to help share her book, because now I have found you!! This whole daily adventure has been wonderful and I’m super excited by all the new ideas. Not only from her new book but from you Carina, as well. This is awesome! I can’t wait to try all the new ideas I see! I don’t own any embroidery books yet, it would be awesome to start my library with this one. Thank you for sharing!

    The “Welcome to our Home” project looks so cute! I’ve never stitched on gauze, it’s probably time I gave it a try ;)

    I would love to win a copy of this book! Thank you for the opportunity. It is quite intriguing. I have seen a handful of people who have done a stitch a day type of work, and it is so inspiring and gorgeous, and a bit overwhelming to even try. The end result is so beautiful too!

    I love the idea of a doodle stitch a day project. What a great way to get a little stitching time in on a regular basis without the pressure of a “real project”! Thanks for featuring this book!
