I’m delighted with the embroidery that I made using the Sakura Clusters pattern from the book (and it was my first time doing a proper embroidery, so you can definitely do this too):

    I’ve only ever cross stitched, I would love to get into actual embroidery, although it looks intimidating.

    What a great idea, mandalas are great to colour, but now you can create and put them on display.

    This looks lovely! I could start to do embroidery like this, that doesn’t require filing entire spaces with solid stitches. And the sakura pattern is especially beautiful. Thanks for the chance to win!
