Wild Embroidery: 16 Botanical Designs Inspired By The Beauty Of The Art & Crafts Movement, Noriko Livingstone

Inspired by the natural motifs and handmade philosophy of the Arts and Crafts movement, Wild Embroidery brings together 16 botanical embroidery designs for makers of all skill levels. Noriko Livingstone draws on museum pieces, the patterns of William and May Morris, and her own observations of nature to create designs featuring robins, roses, hummingbirds, rabbits, alpine plants, and other familiar forms.

Each design is accompanied by a project idea, showing how embroidered motifs can move beyond the hoop and become part of everyday life, from floral handbags and children’s clothing to simple wall pieces and larger works of art. Alongside the patterns, Livingstone explores the enduring appeal of Arts and Crafts principles, celebrating simplicity, nature, and the pleasure of making by hand.
