Rico - Embroidery book - 178 Sakura

Sakura’ is Japanese and means ‘cherry blossom’. In Japanese culture, the cherry blossom is a symbol of beauty, but it also represents new beginnings and transience. The blooming period of the cherries marks the beginning of spring. The Japanese celebrate their beauty every spring with special cherry blossom festivals. The embroidery book No. 178 ‘Sakura Sakura’ presents 23 spring-themed designs featuring cherry blossoms in various forms. Look forward to scattered flowers, cherry blossom branches, and wreaths. The floral motifs range from graphic, abstract, and one-dimensional to classic and figurative with detailed shading. Items to be embroidered include towels in black and rose, cushions, hangings, pictures, tablecloths, ribbons, and runners, as well as gift ribbons and tags. In addition to classic images in the embroidery hoop, there are also delicate embroideries that are presented very modernly in metal frames. The classic cross-stitch is complemented by additional embroidery stitches. All stitches are explained in detail in the embroidery school section of the instructions. As usual, you will also find illustrative step-by-step instructions and counting patterns here.
