The patterns themselves are so pretty, each one colorful and stitched in four to ten different colors. Je n'ai pas aimé certains dessins, d'autres sont plus beaux, je vous mets deux photos dessous d'une sorte de capteur de rêves et d'un arbre.

Each project is shown fully stitched in Carina's bright and cheerful colour palettes, with a full-colour version of the pattern and a list of suggested DMC embroidery thread colours so you can replicate the design exactly if you want. Floral motifs figure prominently, including seasonal designs featuring cherry blossoms and poinsettias, as well as stylized and Scandinavian-style flowers. The book includes 25 iron-on mandalas and 16 pages of basic embroidery instruction for crafters of all levels.

The patterns combine her life-long passion for art, design, history and nature, often including floral motifs and bright colours. Thanks so much for the giveaway, I love Carina's cheerful, bright sense of colour and would love to try stitching one of her pretty mandalas! There are twelve large (about 6) mandalas and twelve small (about 2) ones, each shown stitched and as a color diagram which gives the stitches used and DMC threads.

With Carina's gentle guidance beginners can also learn how to display their creations in embroidery hoops, including the much-loved Dandelyne hoops which the 12 mini mandalas can fit inside perfectly. Mandala is a Sanskrit word meaning circle, and these beautiful round motifs are a part of Buddhist and Hindu religion.

If readers are less confident about jumping straight into embroidery - or are pressed for time - 24 corresponding black and white motifs can be found on transfer sheets at the back of the book, which you can iron onto your chosen fabric multiple times. You don’t need much either; just cotton fabric, floss, a hoop and off you go (although if you really are new to this I recommend practising on a scrap of cloth before tackling a pattern). This is a great book with beautiful patterns in it and I would have given it five stars if it wasn't for the fact that I can't get the iron on transfers to work. Embroidery, like other slow crafts, can be a calm relaxing hobby, and combining that with repeating mandala patterns sounds like a perfect recipe for slowing down and enjoying some crafting time. The book is split into two halves: the first half includes clearly-illustrated stitch tutorials, instructions for preparing and finishing your work, and all the patterns, with colour palettes and stitching suggestions.I’m thrilled with my embroidery, and I’ll be very happy to display this finished piece on the wall of my craft room.
