This follow-up to the best-selling Doodle Stitching offers fans expanded and updated basics, 400+ easy embroidery motifs on the page and on a CD sealed in the back of the book, 17 projects, and lots of added inspiration. More than a dozen categories include Alphabet, Asian Chic, Baby, Celebrations, Embellishments, Fruits & Veggies, Space, Trees, Flowers, Winged Wonders, and Woodland Creatures-and each section includes one motif stitched by the author. The motifs on the CD are in simple black lines, so readers can easily manipulate them using their own image-editing software, print them out, and transfer them onto their substrate of choice using the instructions in the book.
I have rekindled my love of embroidery and have been busy ordering books, thread, fabric and more. I got so carried away with ordering new books that I neglected to look at the books I already owned and ended up ordering a duplicate book that cannot be returned so I thought it would be a fun time for a giveaway.
If you enjoy fun projects with a vintage appeal, then you will really enjoy Aimee’s book, Doodle Stitching: The Motif Collection: 400+ Easy Embroidery Designs

Sign me up! I’d been looking at this book recently as a fun way to really get into embroidery. I’ve done a couple small projects, but these just look like a lot of fun!
Although, now I’m knitting and crocheting instead of doing embroidering, I remember clearly embroidering when I was about 6 yrs. old. For Christmas, I got a stamped dresser scarf with Mexican scenes on either end. I loved it…wonder what happened to it! My sister has a couple of embroideries I drew and embroidered many, many years ago. She didn’t know until a couple of years ago that’ I’d embroidered them. She’s quite a bit younger than I am so wouldn’t remember me doing them. Sorry,,,,didn’t meant to write a book!

The book looks great. I have been playing with doing some redwork lately and really enjoy it. Thanks for the giveaway. I enjoy reading your blog and seeing what you are working on.
Haven’t embroidered in a very long time. Think it is time to start again. This would certainly be an incentive to do it again.
That book looks wonderful! I’ve been trying to get into embroidery. I did a sampler when I was younger but haven’t done too much recently.
I love vintage motifs. I’m hoping to embroider some owls soon! Great giveaway! Mary

I learned to embroider as a very little girl, and still do some, but not as often as I should/want. I would love to have this book as an inspiration.

I have also started a new interest in embroidery although I’m up to my eyeballs in knitting. I embroidered a lot when I was a small child thanks to my Grandma. My new interest was spurred by Alicia Paulson’s “posie” online shop. This new book giveaway looks great! Thank you.
Q – Awesome book! Looks as if it has a ton of fun ideas!
Hand embroidery was how my love for crafting began! I used to do it so much when I was a younger. These patterns and designs would probably rekindle my love for the art. Thanks so much for your generosity.
I, too, have rekindled my love of embroidery! Would love to have this book. It would be a great resource!
