Unlock your creativity with this joyful guide to abstract embroidery!

In Creative Abstract Embroidery, Ruth Hughes invites you into a vibrant world where texture, colour, and freedom of expression take centre stage. Whether you're an embroidery beginner or a seasoned stitcher ready to break the rules, this inspiring book encourages you to step away from rigid patterns and embrace the messy, colourful beauty of freeform stitching.

Ruth shares her own artistic journey - how embroidery became a meditative escape and an exciting form of self-expression. She provides the essential embroidery techniques, stitches, and tools to get you started, before guiding you into more adventurous territory: from creating 3D effects to working with texture, blending yarns, and stitching on unconventional surfaces.

Each project is an invitation to explore your own voice and style. With open-ended prompts and playful guidance, you'll develop confidence, discover new approaches, and create abstract artworks that are deeply personal.
