I used to do little embroidery on the chinese costumes I made for my dollies. I would love to win the Doodle Stitching books they are so pretty!
What a fun book! It might be just the thing to push me into the world of embroidery. It’s been tempting me for a while now!
This is a darling bag. I can’t wait to see the rest of the designs in the book! Thanks for the giveaway.
I like embroidery! I’m not very good at it as I’m just starting so I would totally love to have a copy of her book. I just like embroidering projects on anything at all. So yes! I do want to learn how to do a little doodle stitching on my own.
I would love to learn to embroider. My grandma used to do it for a living, but I never learned how. I think these books would really help me learn and the designs are so cute!
I can’t wait to win one of these prizes
Fabulous books – those look fun! I purchased my first embroidery project last month and haven’t gotten the nerve up to try it. This looks like the perfect opportunity to get some practice in before an actual gift-project!
love the look of this book
thanks for the giveaway 
I love Doodle Stitching! The embroidery designs are darling!
I used to love embroidery but stopped doing it for some reason. Now that I am doing a lot more sewing, I want to start it back up. Hey the bag looks like a good start
How did you know that I’m still learning how to embroider? Hugs Naomi
Hello! How funny that you should list these books today! My family and I went to Powell’s books in Portland and I drooled over these for some time! (I, however, did not have the money to buy them today, but plan on getting them in the future!) Gorgeous designs. I love to do crewel embroidery and sew, and would love to do some of these lovely designs on gifts I make!!
What a fun book! Id love to win!!
Ooh, I’d love to win that book. I’ve been wanting to try my hands at embroidery forever, what a great reason to finally get to it!
So great! This combines two of my favorite things- doodling and stitching! Totally my cup of tea!
oh, that tote is adorable!!!
I love pieces with embroidery, but I’m soooo slow at doing it myself. >_<
I’m definitely a beginner at embroidery, but I find it so relaxing. I’d love to take on some more complex projects.
I haven’t done any embroidery for a while and I’d like to get back to doing it on pillows and clothes. Thanks for a chance to win these two great books. I love doing embroidery because it is so relaxing and forgiving if you make a mistake.
Hi! I would love to win the books. I have been cross stitching for a while now, but never embroidered. I guess I am a bit apprehensive about the free aspect of it, no neat little squares. But the designs can be so pretty, so I would love to try it! Sara
I love embroidery and have made all my friends personalised muslins for their new babies. With a new little one of my own due in 8 weeks it would be great to have some inspiration for myself.
Thank you
I have been wanting to learn embroidery for a while now, but have never sat down to do it (this has a lot to do with having a very active 2 year old!) These books look like a great starting point!
I love embroidery and go on kicks with ot. My favorite thing s turning my kids’ doodles into thread art!
I’ve always wanted to try doing some doodle stitching but it looks a bit intimidating!

I love embroidery, by hand and machine. I think hand embroidery looks classic though. I haven’t done any projects in a while, but want to start again soon!
This is definately my favourite type of embroidery, fast and cute. Easy to embellish anything, pillows, bibs, bags, kids clothing. Love it.
this market bag is unbelievable! all those veggies, yummie. and this bag celebrates it all!
I have been itching to do some embroidery for a while and have not found the right patterns, UNTIL TODAY!! Oh my are these cute. I need to go thread shopping NOW. I can’t wait to make the tote bag. Thanks Thanks Thanks
Oh I would love, love, love to win the books. I have been eyeing them off for ages!!
I can embroider a little and have dabbled in some smocking even but as someone who loves to draw the doodle designs really appeal to me.
I love hand embroidery! It is relaxing in the evenings when I want to sew, but I don’t want to think to hard about measurements and instructions.
OOHHHH! I want! Both books look so fun!
Looks like a fun book which would be great for embrodiery designs
Fun!
How adorable! I JUST started learning how to embroider by hand and I love it!! These would be SO helpful! Thanks for a great giveaway!
I’ve only done a bit of embroidery and would love to do some more. These patterns look great!
I didn´t do any embroidery since I left elementary school… But i want to learn it again! I love the look of the doodle embriodery, it would be so great to win the books
I do a lot of machine embroidery, but this is something I would love to sit down and try! I love the market bag, so cute!!
So cute! I love embroidery!
I love embroidery and began with cross-stitching when I was 10 and worked up to really large cross stitch projects and historically-inspired samplers as an adult. But when I became a mama, I found I didn’t have as much time for complicated projects and discovered embroidering simpler motifs on useful objects — napkins, totes, t-shirts, etc. — and it is so satisfying and fun! Thanks for this great giveaway!
I’ve just started playing around with embroidery and am having a lot of fun with it. These books look so inspirational.
I have been embroidering since I was little. I just finished a project I embroidered 30 years ago and it makes me want to get back into it.
I have had my eye on this book for awhile. This is just plain fun!!! Can you imagine adding some of these motifs to a border of a little girls dress or putting a bit of whimsey on a handbag!! Great book offers…Exciting venture…..
I love embroidery. I always have a stitchery ready to take with me whenever I leave the house. My handwork basket is full! I’ve done a little doodle stitching of my own, but I’m no artist. I’d love to win these books!! I’d feel so blessed. ~karen
When I was 5 yrs old, my grandmother taught me to sew and embroider Barbie clothing and I haven’t stopped. I have grown past the Barbie stage but embroidery has stayed with me. Up until the Doodle Stitching book came out, I was very much stuck in the “I need a pattern!” mode. How things have changed since I bought her book! Learning to doodle was a challenge for me and I like to think that I now have the hang of it as well as taken it one step further into hidden message doodling. I LOVE DOODLES!
would LOVE to win this prize! huge fan of the book, and have (on two occasions now) returned it late to the library! haha…
hoping to do some doodle-stitching on some dresses for my little one in the near future.
These books have been on my wishlist for awhile- this is something I’d love to learn!
I love those stitched vegetables! What a great way to personalize things!
I am always looking for little things to add to napkins or towels.. this would be perfect!
I love Doodle Stitching!! Fun designs that just give a project that extra love.
I love how some little motif can make such a bit differnce. Brightens stuff up so much.
I’ve dabbled a bit with some of Aimee’s iron-on patterns, but I’d love to give these books a try.
I have borrowed her book from the library before. it would be a treat to own it! What a great giveaway!
Love embroidery and used to do a little bit because my grandma taught me. She is an embroidery master! Would like to get back into it and love Aimee Ray’s designs.
i’ve only dabbled – cross stitch and small bits of embroidery. these books look fun!
Woo hoo! I would love to stitch these cute designs on my kid’s clothes!
i have lovely embroidered wall hanging that i made out of some of my kids drawings. it hangs in my sewing room. i do enjoy any kind of hand work.
I’m just beginning to learn how to embroider – I would love this book!
These books have been on my wishlist for awhile! This is something I’d love to learn!!
very cool, i have not been stitching a whole lot, but this looks like it will catch my interst
These are great looking books. I particularly like the idea of the motif book – perfect for finding things to decorate clothing etc for my daughter.
Sorry I commented twice, I didn’t think the first one went through. I hope I can still be entered!
Oh how fun…I love to embroidery, but really need some practice. I am participating in a block of the month that is working on wool felt and we are learning lots of new stitches. This would be so much fun to have.
Thank you!!!!!
I have just recently tried embroidery, and I loved it. I am a knitter, so I like having small, portable projects. Embroidery is just as relaxing as knitting– if not more since there is less counting and deciphering of patterns! Both of my children have also caught the embroidery bug.
I’ve always wanted try out the techniques from Aimee Ray’s books. I am new to quilting
& haven’t attempted embroidery yet. What a great giveaway!
A friend of mine had these books, and they looked like a wonderful way to start learning embroidery, which is something I’ve been wanting to do for a really long time. Thanks for the giveaway!
I fell in love with embroidery when I was 7 or 8 years old, and spent a lot of hot, Arizona summers inside, embroidering flowers and ladybugs and mushrooms, while sipping a cold root beer. I haven’t done a project in a while, but these books make me want to start one!
I’m new to embroidery so these books look fabulous! Thanks for offering a giveaway.
I’d love to have this! My 7-y-o daughter enjoys doing embroidery, and we are always searching google images for line drawings to embroider.
How fun, what a great way to add that special touch to your projects!
I am new to sewing and would love to learn embroidery to add something extra to my projects.
I do so love embroidery and I am an Aimee Ray fan. Her designs are so fun and whimsical. I love the little gnomes she makes. They’re just precious.
I love sewing and I love embroidery! Each has it’s place in my heart, but only the embroidery makes it with me to the bench at the playground!
Emroidery has a long history in my family. I have tea towels embroidered by my great grandmother and handkerchiefs embroidered by my grandma while she waited for my grandfather to come home from the Pacific Theater. In the 70s and 80s, my mom embroidered jean jackets for my sisters and I. They featured our second- and third- favorite animals above the breast pockets (a mammoth and polar bear with green eyes decorate mine) as well as a large design of our favoriate animal across the entire back (stegosaurus!!). Each also has our name in script above our most favorite animal. Last year, I followed in their footsteps by learning to sew my own wedding dress, and this year, I’d like to take up embroidery. It makes me feel closer to the matriarchs of my family!
Beautiful books! I cant wait to see what’s inside them! I would love to start embroidering again. Lovely!
The Doodle Stitches are adorable. I’d love to try my hand at it. Thanks for the PDF.
Most of the embroidery I do is sachiko because I couldn’t draw my way out of a paper bag. 400 motifs? Yes, please. I’m off to make some vegetables now. Farmers market is only three days away.
I’m new to embroidery but already have Aimee’s first book because I’d like to get my 8-year-old daughter’s doodles in stitches. Since she’s a special needs child (Aspergers and Anxiety Disorder), I think the second book with CD would help her to render her own drawings in stitches as well. She recently started straight hand sewing, which I think helps minimize anxiety and provides comfort. I know it does me! Thanks for the drawing opportunity!
I. Would. LOVE. This. Book!! This is what I’ve been looking for! Reminds me of the embroidery my mom used to do.
After recently enjoying applique, doodle stitching looks like a my newest”must”!
I’ve been looking at Aimee Ray’s books and trying to decide which one to get – I really want to try out some embroidery in this fun style to make some pretty things to hang around the house and to give me some sewing to do while relaxing on the sofa, rather than sitting at the machine. Thanks for a great chance to win some fab books!
I’m just getting into embroidery, thanks to Alicia Paulsen. I’m thinking these veggies would be cute on the lunch bag pattern featured yesterday.
Oh, I love the veggie tote bag!
I’ve never tried embroidery but I really want to try it.
Way too cute!
I haven’t done embroidery in a long long time. I love to hand sew and these designs are so cute and manageable.
I do not embroider much; really only when a very special gift is required. I like it though, just not as much as sewing. =)
These books look so fun! I would love to learn how to Doodle stitch.
I’ve wanted to learn how to embroider for a while but so far I haven’t gotten past making labels for my quilts using a simple running stitch. What a great giveaway!
I have done very little embroidery and would love to expand that skill. Thanks for the chance to win.
I have recently begun to work on Vintage embroidery, and Aimee is an inspiration! I would love a chance to win her books.
Please enter me in your drawing for these Doodle Stitching books. I have done embroidery in the distant past, I might have to take it up again!
wow!!!!!! before 2 weeks i started to stiching and this book looks great!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is very cute. A fantastic offer.
Love the tote bag! I’ll give the project a try… my embroidery skills need some work. Maybe if I win the book that will give me the help I need!
i would love to win a copy of Aimee’s 2nd book. i have her first book and it is so cute.
Love those books!
I enjoy embroidery and like to use it with sewing and quilting projects. I hope I win! thanks for your generosity.
So excited to see the projects.
That bag is so cute! I do enjoy a bit of embroidery every now and then, and have a kitchen full of embroidered tea towels — I really should branch out!
Wow, that’s cute! I’ve usually thought of embroidery as being fussy, but that actually looks fun. I’d love to learn.
I started my first ever embroidering project with a pattern that my boyfriend’s mom gave from the 50’s-70 that her mom collected! I haven’t really decided what it is yet, but it might just be a handkerchief.. must find a way to display it once it’s finished
I absolutely love doing it and I can’t wait to be better!
This brings back memories of when I first learned how to embroider with my Mom back in the day! In the 70’s we embroidered our jeans with anything and everything we loved…lots of “peace” signs baby!
These books look so sweet. I may have to brush up on my skills.
I am a beginner at embroidery, but I love it! I can be doing it while my family is watching TV, so that I can still be with them, but am able to be crafty.
I am just starting to really get into embroidery. These books seem great because I could add little embelishments to things without taking on a huge project.
i recently took up embroidery because of these books! the designs are so adorable.
I love embroidery! I actually love all needlecrafts, but embroidery is one of my faves. I love to personalize the things I make with a bit of hand stitching. This book looks amazing!
I really need to get back into embroidery. I have so much stuff that I got when my grandma passed and I’ve just gotten out of the habit. This would be a perfect project to get back on it!
This looks like a great book!
I love to embroider, but just don’t have the time lately. But my 10 year old daughter has discovered the hobby. She loves drawing her own little pictures and embroidering them. These books would be great for her. They would be easy for her to complete. I printed the free download of the Farmer’s Market vegetables and she is working on those as I type.
How fun! I’m not much of an embroiderer since my techniques are lacking.
My neighbor and I were pouring over this book when she found it at the library! I’d love to win my own copy.
I’ve had my eye on these books for a loooong time. I used to do a little embroidery, but I’ve been itching to try it again with all the fabulous designers out there and the seriously cute designs! I hope I win!!
I’m not the best hand stitcher but I have been trying to teach my daughter the basics. Both her and i would love the doodle stitching because its modern and fun.
I would love to learn to do simple embroidery. My grandmother was a master at it, since childhood, and it would be neat to be able to enjoy the same hobby.
Thanks for entering my name in the contest!
Embroidery and I are just getting to know each other… the books would be great.
I haven’t done any doodle stitching but after seeing these pictures, I’m certainly inspired to try!
Oh, how cute! My daughter would love this, she’s the stitcher in the family. Please enter us, thanks!
I recently gotten back into embroidery and this time around I’ve fallen in love with perle cotton. I especially have fun with the variegated colors…I love the extra pop they give to my designs. I’ve been eyeing both of these books for a long time and would LOVE to win them!

I love embroidery and it would be lovely to get those books. I like “drawing” motifs with my thread and needle, it’s a nice way to personalize your items. Plus I find hand embroidery very soothing. I’m hoping to add more embroidery to the things I sew in the future.
I really enjoy embroidering, especially flour sack towels like the ones my great grandmother made. I have a few that I gave to my mom and a few that I use–I should definitely make more!
Love, love, love these designs. If only I didn’t have to work to earn a living, I could sew and doodle all day long!
I don’t stitch much yet, but I’ve had my eye on both of these books for almost a year now! I have started with a bit of cross stitch & would love to learn some embroidery stitches, but I favor fun contemporary patterns like this rather than all of the flowery/country-ish pattern books you usually see.
I would LOVE to learn more about embroidery. So far I have only attempted flowers, and I am still learning my stitches, but I would love these books!!
Thanks for the chance!
My daughters & I love to stitch. We would love this to add to our collection. I can’t believe we haven’t purchased it! Thanks so much
I haven’t done anything but cross stitch & that was eons ago. This book definitely has my interest perked up again!
How do you transfer the images to the fabric? I want to make one for my kitchen!
Starting back stitching after many, many years break. So fun and relaxing. Would love to win. Love stitching Her designs.
I <3 embroidery! I've made a bunch of tea towels and a few sets of coasters. Hope to make many more soon!

I’m just now learning to do embroidery. I’d love to win these books to help me learn more!
I am a beginner embroider(er?) and this book looks so fun! I can’t wait to try this market bag idea.

I like the vegetable embroidery. Just right for a tote or an apron.

How cute! I have been contemplating learning to embroider, and these books look like just the way to get started!
I would love these books, I’ve been eyeing them forever. Some of those designs would be so cute on my daughter’s summer dresses. I’m not an expert at embroidery, but I’m trying to be.
I would LOVE to win a copy of the book! Thank for the opportunity!
Love this!!! I’ve always wanted to learn how to do these cute little embroidery doodles!
I’ve been doing xstitch lately, but I can see some leftover threads being used on the market bag. Time to do some embellishing!!
I’ve read the first book, and it was just adorable! I made the eye mask in it and loved how well it stitched up. *crosses fingers*
I am new to embroidery, but I really like how the handstiching makes everything seem more whimsical.
It’s been years since I’ve embroidered but these cute designs are making me want to dust off my supplies and get busy! Thanks!

I have done a little bit of embroidery but looking at these adorable books I think I need to do a lot more!

those are super fun!! I so hope that I win!
I am having such fun with doodle embroidery – I am just getting into it, but it is a great liberating change from the cross stitch samplers I learned as a child. I love that this approach to embroidery is fun, liberating, and can be as involved or as quick as you want it to be. And Aimee Ray has such playful designs!
I’ve only just started to embroider but I love it! I have been teaching myself from reader’s digest: complete guide to needlework. I am working on a mandala I designed that represents our 8 yrs of marriage.
I love embroidery! My mom taught me in elementary school, and I recently picked it back up!
I love her tree design in the first book. It inspired me to make a mini quilt. Would love love love to have any of her books!
I think hand embroidery is so very beautiful. I wish I were a little better at it. I guess that is where practice comes in. Aimee Ray makes it look so fresh and whimsical! The books would defintely help me with my embroidery skills…Thanks for a chance at such a great giveaway!!

[...] Doodle Stitching Free Project + Giveaway « Sew,Mama,Sew! Blog [...]
These books look so delightful! I have done cross-stitch embroidery, as well as embroidering on knitted items, but I have yet to do embroidery like this yet. Not that I haven’t wanted to…
I love embroidery–I just wish that I’d make more time to do it. Honestly, of all of my textile loves, it’s the most rewarding–it’s all hand-crafted, all me, and no matter how little I do on a project in one setting, I feel like I’m getting somewhere (so not true with crochet
).
I’d love a chance to win!
These are too cute! I picked up a HUGE box of embroidery floss at a rummage sale, but and these books are just what I need to get inspired. Perhaps if the person who sold me all that floss had these, she would have kept them!
I love to embroidery and actually have both of these books on my wishlist and they have been there for awhile! It would be lovely to win them!
Oh, that looks like so much fun! I’d like to do more embroidery.

I’ve always loved embroidery. I taught myself when I was a teen. I used a book by Coats & Clark called Learn How Book. Since it was the 70’s I made a few bucks embroidering jeans in college!
I would love to learn how to embroider.
oooh, i would LOVE either of those books!!
…ooooh embroidery, I love it but regretfully have not done it so long. Those book would be the needed inspiration! I used to do beautiful embroidery.
would love to try these!
love the embroidery & thanks for offering the free pattern
I love embroidery! I have way too many quilting WIPs to get started on an embroidery project right now… but I have some ideas already of embroidery projects when those are done! Thanks for the giveaway!
What a great book. I would love to embroider some babygrows for my new son so this would be a fantastic resource.
Oh! I would love this! I just started and need something to really get me inspired
love embroidery! thanks for the giveaway
I actually started out doing embroidery. I have a piece I did with eight small squares of different embroidered flowers. I’ve been wanting to get it framed to give as gift but I have no idea who to give it to! I might just keep it right, may as well since I’ve had it for the last eight years.
I would love to start doing some embroidery on pre-made items, like the doodle tote. I just LOVE the look of embroidery and all the possibilities! Thank you for the chance to win such terrific books!

I have never done embroidery but I’d love to learn how!
I just made some linen dishcloths that need some embroidery embellishment …..inspiration!
I have been stitching for a very long time. I find it so relaxing and enjoy it’s versatility. I’d love to win a copy of Aimee Ray’s book.
Who wouldn’t love those! My favorite embroidery project was a pair of jeans that I embroidered for camping. Things like a stick with a marshmallow on it, a wood sign pointing the way to things like the lake, the trail, um, the winery. Oh, and I put animal tracks up the leg as if a critter had climbed up my leg. Love those jeans!
Love Embroidery! , Need a little help with some things but I think I am getting it down and those books would be amazing to have ! I have had them in my Amazon wish list for some time now =)
Love! Have been embroidering lately, so this would be so perfect! Thanks!
I like the idea of embroidery, although I have never learned the formal stitches. This would be a great way to start… Also, that bag is adorable!
I’ve been wanting to get back into embroidery for a while now. I’d love to mix embroidery and quilting – so many possibilities!
I would love to own these two books…an incredible resource. Thank you for your super-licious blog. Kay in MN
I’m just starting to dabble in embroidery and Doodle Stitching is on my list of books that are a *must*! I can’t wait to do the adorable veggie bag. Thanks for the chance to win!
I’m a huge fan of Aimee’s and I have given her book as a gift. I’d love to own a copy for myself! Thanks for a great giveaway!
I love hand embroidery, it reminds me of my great aunt who had all things hand made in her house.
It’s so nice to see that people are doing embroidery again. There was a time when I thought it would become a lost art, but now it is gaining popularity due to sites and books like this. I have been doing embroidery since I was a child, since I grew up in a British family. I’d love to win the book, and I will also try the veggies on the pdf. I often do some embroidery on my quilts to give them a bit of extra interest.
This mama needs to get some fresh and fun projects started this summer! These would be just the thing to get me rolling.
What fun books! I’d love to win them and use them! Thanks for the giveaway!
So cute! I remember embroidering dishcloths with my grandma as a kid, this book would be a fun update to that.
Embroidery is my first love–my grandma gave me my first embroidery project for Christmas when I was 8 or 9; I’ve been stitching ever since. Love that market bag!
I love embroidery! I have embroidered quilts, tea towels, and jeans too. I just started trying my hand at stitching my own pictures.
I love to sit and stitch. I need to be doing more as I can sit with my 2 y.o. and 8 month old and stitch while they play.
I love embroidery and am just learning. A book would be awesome!
Becca
Doodling is fun! I have been meaning to embroider more.
I am embroidering a white apron right now to spruce it up so I would love to add these books to my collection for more ideas. What a great giveaway!
I haven’t learned embroidery yet, but am itching for some new projects! I think that tote is so cute, I can’t wait to try it!
So nice to have such a cute design for a bag. I love her book – thanks for the giveway
Cute book and download! thanks!
I haven’t embroidered anything in years. I learned back in seventh grade, and I remember stitching a Sunbonnet Sue. Too cutesy for my taste. These designs are very fresh and not cutesy at all. I love to doodle and doodle stitching sounds like it would be fun and relaxing.
Love adding a special touch of embroidery to projects. These books would be a great addition to my collection.
This looks like a wonderful duo of books – i’m always looking for something portable to work on while I wait for my children at their various activities.
I’ve embroidered words and phrases on bags and my son’s clothes. I want to make my MIL some embroidered kitchen towels for Christmas so I would love to win these books!
I’d love to win! I’ve had this book on my wish list for awhile!
AAAH!!!! I just discovered Aimee’s new book! My mom bought it, and I have already made 2 little doodles. My plan is to do a series and make them into squares for a quilt. I would LOVE my own copy of her new book, and the other one as well! Thanks for a great giveaway!
This is so awesome! I would love to learn about embroidery.
The book has been sitting in my amazon wishlist for a while. Would love to finally get my hands on one!
I’ve been doing an embroidery QAL and really, really enjoying it. I was looking at patterns last week at a craft store, but didn’t see anything that really grabbed me. These look great though and such a good resource. Thanks for the chance and Congrats on the new section of your shop.
I just started to embroider, and I love it! So far I’ve really only used designs that I’ve doodled, but I’ve seen Aimee Ray’s books and would love to try them!
I’ve been wanting to learn embroidery so that I can stitch on the go but my first attempt was a fail. I guess I could use a little guidance!
I love the veggies. These would be cute on kitchen towels.
These books look great! The designs are too cute!
Oh, it’s so hard to make up good embroidery patterns! And it sooo great to take one of these books and to start right away… I would love to win one of them! Thanks for the opportunity!
I love to embroider anything, lately it has been quilt blocks, but am in need of a new project
Great for summer!
I LOVE embroidering. So do my boys (8 and 6yo). They would love these doodle books as much as me :0)
I have been drooling over these books – thank you so much for the chance to win one!
i would love to win this!! I’m always looking for new ways to add accents to my projects!! These are very neat designs.
Oh I would love to win.
I’ve been wanting to learn embroidery for a while now. This looks perfect! Thanks for the chance to win!
I love embroidery and have some skills but it never rises to the top of my crafty to do list. Perhaps the books could inspire me to make some great pieces! Thanks for the giveaway.
Those books look like pure joy! I would love to win.
I’ve been longing to learn how to embroider! Every time I enter a craft store I always find myself in the embroidery section eyeing the patterns and hoops. I’d love to get started!
Hi,recently I started with embroidery. I would like to win the book to try more difficult designs and learn different techniques. This is a lovely book!!!!!
Oh, how I’d love those books! I’ve been wanting to do more embroidery…
what a lovely prize – its been on my craft to do list to improve my embroidery!
I would LOVE these books. Endless projects come to mind
Embroidery in my past has been a large, long commitment of time- the projects seemed so daunting. These seem pretty quick and easy…definitely a must in a three-kiddo world!
I have never emroidered anything but I’d love to learn how!
What a wonderful book. I’d love to win one myself. I might even have to buy a 2nd one for my son’s girlfriend who loves doing embroidery and cross stitching as well. In my younger years I always had a needle in my hand and an embroidery hoop in my other. My Mom taught me to embroider when I was probably about 8 yrs old and I have loved it ever since that time. I haven’t done any for a few years now but since all my boys have grown now and left home I’d love to have something like this to do when I have buried my sewing machine with stuff being tossed onto the table (everyone does this…..right? LOL) and want to do something with my hands. LOL THIS would be perfect.
Thanks so much for the awesome Doodle Tote pattern. What a cute idea.
I would love to learn doodle stitching!
I’ve wanted both of those books for a while now; I would LOVE to win!
I’ve been eyeing Doodle Stitches for ages! Thanks for reminding me about it so I can put it back at the top of my wish list. And I’m really excited about the new one too. Thanks for sharing.
Embroidery is fast becoming my favorite fabric craft. Thanks for the giveaway.
I don’t embroider but would love to learn. I think Aimee Ray’s books are a wonderful inspiration.
Love embroidery – and these designs are so cute!
I would love to learn embroidery. I am amazed at all the possibilities!

Thanks for the free farmers market tote patten it’s darling!
I love hand embroidery!
What a great giveaway. Always wanted to learn embroidery.
I love embroidery, and my mom just requested I embroider some flour sack towels for her kitchen. Now I’m think I’ll have to cover them in Aimee Ray veggies! Sooo cute!
What a great book! It’s the perfect incentive to start embroidery – the little motifs look less daunting than bigger projects. Such a cute tote – wouldn’t they make great presents!
I love to embroider! In my 9th grade art class we learned some basics…I wish I had learned even more from the teacher back then. I now try to learn new stitches from books. This book looks awesome!
Ooh, these books have been on my gift wish list! I have only been doing hand embroidery for about a year, and I am eager to learn more. I would be so delighted to have these books! Thanks for the giveaway!
I do love her book, especially the second one. Would love to have it!
I do many crafts, but embroidery is my favorite by far. It’s the cheapest, quickest, and easiest craft I do, and I love being able to pretty things up with little more than a needle and some floss. I’ve embroidered tea towels, hair clips, an apron, a skirt, a tote bag, and much more. I’ve been lusting after the Doodle Stitching books for a long time now, and I’d love to win. Thanks so much for the chance!
I would LOVE to win these books! I’ve had them on my Amazon wish list forever.
i love these designs, but i have pretty minimal experience with embroidery, unless it is to embellish a softie! my sister is great at it, so i would share the books with her!
Oh, these books are on my Wish List. They have been, I just can’t justify buying an embroidery pattern book when I usually trace my “patterns” from real pics on the PC.
Embroidery is my favorite – sounds like a wonderful book.
Oh fun! I’m working on a hexie charm quilt and am using solids with embroidery for some of the pieces. I’d love to add these books to my library!
I’ve been wanting these. Winning would be perfect.
These books look great! Thanks for the chance to win!
This is on my wish list of things to learn. The book looks fun!
Ooooo, these veggie designs would be just as wonderful on kitchen hand towels, you know the flower sack kind. Hmmmmm.
i’ve been planning to buy at least one of the doodle stitches books for a long time!
Excellent selection for a give-away!What a fun way to spend long, hot summer days!
I love sewing so the thought of doodling with thread is great
I just started doing embroidery, and I love it! I’m looking forward to sharpening my skills in time to make cute, handmade gifts for Christmas.
What cool books! And the free download for the market bag – awesome! Can’t wait to download it and start stitching
theladyelena [at] hotmail [dot] com
Thanks!
Here is to hoping i win. I love embroidery even though I haven’t found much time to do it lately.
I have done just a few stitching works (I wanted to make a perfume pillows for my drawers). I would love to learn more!
I’m just learning embroidery. These books would be great.
I love embroidery, specially flowers.
I’ve been embroidering since I was very young. My mother taught me, and I always have a project in the works (often more than one
So I would love to win those lovely books!
love this!!! i’ve been wanting to pick up embroidery – always had since i was a little girl
Such cute embroidery books! I love to embroidery gifts for family and friends!
I’ve recently returned to embroidery after 35 years (my grandmother taught me to stitch flour sack dish towels when I was 8). I love the portability of the projects! I will be checking out your books soon.
I used to embroider as a child, but hadn’t tried in years. I recently tried again and made a mess of my knots – this looks like the perfect prize for me. Thanks for the chance to win!
I’m just starting to take up embroidery again and would love to use this book to do it!
I want the motif collection BAD. I have the other one and Aimee’s books are really excellent. If you haven’t been to Urban Threads (There is a link on the main SMS Blog page) or seen Subversive Cross Stitch by Julie Jackson, go take a look right now.
I just started embroidering to personalize my kids’ stuff! thanks for the chance to win!
I’ve never done embroidery, but would love to pick it up. Just doodling with a pencil is a blast, so I can’t imagine what it would be like with some thread.
Embroidery is the first needle and thread work I learned to do as a child, and has remained a favorite all my life. There are so many creative possibilities, and a little doodle art would be fun have/learn.
I want to learn embroidery! I’ve only tried it a couple times with something super simple, but it was a lot of fun, would love to really get into it!
I really love embroidery, but don’t do enough of it as I am always knitting. If I had an embroidery bag ready to take with me where ever I went like the knitting bag I have, I think I would stitch more. I really want to!
WE all love to doodle. We all like to stitch. What a combination
Marilyn
I’ve only just started to learn embroidery (as in I have a grand total of 1 finished project) and I’m really enjoying it. These books would be such a treat!
Thanks for the giveaway
Love the project. Love embroidery!
So pretty, I would love to make special little bags and clothes for my kids with hand embroidered touches.
I haven’t done much embroidery and would love to improve the very basic skills I’ve learned. This book would really help and I love the design on the photos you’ve shown!
What a cute bag! Can’t wait to make it! I’m working on some bird dish towels right now, and all I ever seem to do is outline stitch, although I know other stitches as well.
I love the doodle stitchign books and ideas. I ahve been embroidering for at lest 3 years and continue to enjoy the challenge.
this is a great book!
These books would make a wonderful addition to my sewing/craft library. I use similar designs to embroider the grandgirl’s jeans and would love to add yours!!!
I enjoy embroidery by hand and also now have a sewing machine with an embroidery module (learning curve here as have yet to use it on my own). I definitely would like to win one of these prizes. Now, off to download. Thanks.
I’ve been itching to do some embroidery. I’ve always enjoyed it. These books look great! Thank you for the opportunity.
I want to learn to embroider. I think that Aimee Ray is just the person to inspire me to do it! I hope to win this wonderful giveaway!!! Thanks!
wonderful book, i’ve been eyeing it for quite some time now. love to improve my embroidery skill, thanks for the giveaway
I just borrowed Doodle Stitching from the library and after looking at all the designs, I’m convinced I really need a copy of my own!
I’m trying to start my own embroidery pattern company, I love embroidery so much. Fingers crossed!
I have just started teaching my daughter embroidery and was just looking at both these books to get for her…they would make a great birthday gift for her!
I love the look of hand embroidery, but do not have as much free time as I would like to actually do it. Maybe when the kids are older….
I would love to have this set! I can picture many, many gifts & keepsakes.
Hooray!
I like embroidery, but I don’t do a lot of it. I need more time for all the things that I like to do.
I’ve been doodle stitching for years while watching tv! Thanks for the giveaway.
I’d love to win! I like free hand embroidery but can’t draw well…I need a pattern!
I’ve just fallen in love with embroidery——can hardly stop doing it now! Off to check out the book now
thanks!!
I love Aimee and her books! I’m a beginner when it comes to embroidery, but enjoy practicing to get my designs as pretty as hers. I borrow these books often from our library but would love to own my own copies. Such cute ideas!
Embroidery is my next crafty conquest. I’ve done a little here and there but I really want to do more. These books look like the perfect start!
Oh goodness, what timing! I have just finished poring over some of my grandmother’s embroidery books and wondering where on earth to start! I’ll be keeping my fingers crossed for this one
I have been embroidering all my life. I learned when I was 7 years old. We lived out in the country, and my mother taught me so I’d have something to do on days when it was too hot to go out.
When I was 8 I gave every man in the family a handkerchief with their initials embroidered with chain stitch in one corner.
It’s been almost 9 years since I got to do any embroidery, but I am all unpacked and have everything set up and good to go!
OMG- just adorable. I still embroider by hand, I find it way more peaceful.
I love to embroidery by hand. Its so relaxing. i like all kinds of embroidery patterns, especially things for children. I also like to do redwork for quilts, but sometimes i do it in blue. just to be different. would love to have these books. thanks.
How cute! I love embroidery.
Aimee Rae’s first book made me fall in love with embroidery. So excited that she has a new book out!
I was inspired by her first book and can’t wait to get my hands on this new one!
Oh! I am SO inspired! Her designs are always so sweet and whimsical. What a nice give-away!
I own both of these books, and they are GREAT! But I lent one to a friend and never got it back, and that was last winter… sigh
I’ve dabbled in embroidery in the last 6 months (although I used to cross stitch a lot as a kid). Mostly embroidering faces on soft toys. I have a lot of patterns that I’ve been collecting but haven’t fully gotten into it yet. Still slightly intimidated I think…
My mom worked for Erica Wilson in NYC during the 70s, so even though I’ve only done a tiny bit myself, I feel like embroidery is in my blood.
These books look really fun!
this is so fun! I have recently been interested in hand stitching!
What a great giveaway! keeping my fingers crossed!
This could be just what I need to enter the embroidery world!!
I have long been an admirer of hand embroidery and have only just bought a hoop from my local thrift shop to get started…so here it goes, I’m learning, fabulous books or not
I used to think embroidery only meant cross-stitch because anything else was just too complicated. I’ve been slowly learning how untrue that is, and really love the whimsical designs in these books. I have had them on my Amazon list for ages, so here’s hoping I get lucky or, failing that, might just have to order now from SMS!
beautiful! thanks for the chance!
I love her doodle embroidery style. I want to do it!
I love embroidery! I don’t sit down to it as much as I sew, but I love the quiet rhythm I get into when I stitch. My favorite project was a wall hanging for my son’s room.
I am a new embroiderer (is this the right word???). I never seem to have much luck at these things but I would be overjoyed to win these books. Thank you for the chance.
I’ve been wanting this books. so cute!
I have drooled over her books in the store and on amazon. Great giveaway idea!
I would love to win this!
Fingers crossed,
Melissa B.
these books are so fun and inspiring… such a must have for your night stand or beach bag! Everytime I look at mine I get new ideas…
I just started embroidering again this year after about a twenty year break and I’m really enjoying it!
So cute and fun. Just started with the embroidery thing…love it.
Embroidery is my FAVORITE! Would love to win!
This is a great giveaway — I love embroidery! I especially love how you can use motifs to design your own project. This would be a great opportunity to get my girls interested in embroidery too.
I love embroidery but haven’t done any for years, I’ve got back into sewing this year and always looking for inspiration , this book looks great to help me get started stitching again.
Please include me in the drawing for these books! Embroidery is so much fun. My earliest project was to embroider a flower on the lapel of my husband’s suit that he had to wear for work (this was years and years ago when men wore suits to work). I’d love some new inspiration. Thanks!
I love the Doodle embroidery books! My daughter is just learning how to embroider, such fun and cute designs, she’d love it!
I haven’t really tried embroidery yet but would like to give it a go!

I love this designer!!! Love all her projects!!! Thanks for this great opportunity!!
I reminded my mom this week that I began hand embroidery at about 8 y/o. Now on my 5th decade, I’ve picked up where left in childhood. Hand embroidery, cross stitch and machine embroidery are close cousins with whom I’m developing a loving relationship.
Coveting both books!
I love and admire anyone who can stitch &i would love to learn!
I’ve been wanting to learn to embroider. A friend’s mom has this boo and I was just thinking of purchasing it – that is if I don’t win it:)
Sweet! I used to embroider moons ago and want to get back into it. Would love to win this bookthanks!-
I am new to embroidery and that is one area my library is lacking. I want to embroider everything but have been resisting the urge without a pattern. I would love to get my hands on this and learn even more stitches from an expert!
I love these books! I was looking at them just the other day and thinking I really need to learn embroidery!
My fingers and toes are crossed!
Oh how sweet I will try to make some of the fruits and will have a look if they sell the books around here
I embroider every day. It is wonderfully relaxing.
My college room mate taught me to embroider, and I must confess -I sometimes skipped class because I was so caught up in my stitching!!! Love to embroider, cross stitch, quilt, knit, anything that require needles!!
Love her designs! Thanks for the opportunity to win!=)
I love it! I don’t do a lot of it, so I’m not that great at it yet. But with these books, I’m sure I’d become much better. What a great prize!

I have been eying these books for a while now, I would LOVE to win!

I love doodle stitching! Would love to see the new motifs.
I just started embroidering last year and I love it! I made tea towels for a bridal shower gift, and baby bibs for a friend. My goal is to make an embroidered alphabet quilt next! This is a huge project for me as I’m a beginner at both embroidery and sewing. Slow and steady is my motto!
I haven’t embroidered since I was a little girl. That was a LONG time ago, but this book looks inspring enough to get me started again!
These books look fabulous! What fun designs! I haven’t embroidered in years, till just last week, and now that I have started again I cannot stop!
I haven’t done embroidery for years. I’d love to get back into it and doodles look like they’d be fun enough to inspire me. Thanks for the giveaway!
I love to embroider. I wish I had more time, but I have a 3-mo-old and 2.5-yr-old right now. Good thing embroidery isn’t too hard to carve some time out for. I would love those books…
Me wanty! Soo cute!
Oh my goodness, I would love thse books!! I used to embroider and cross stitch all the time. Then I had kids and didnt’ have enough brain power in the evenings left over to count my stitches. Now that they’re a little older I would love to get back into it!
I would love to learn a new skill!,,,
I have the first Doodle Stitching book and would love to win the second. Thank you.

I’d love to win this book to try my hand at embroidery! awesome giveaway!
How fantastic there is another Doodle Stitch book!
Congratulations on opening a book store.
Embroidery provides a huge vista of opportunities to create but I am afraid I have only just scratched the surface. However, am prepared to dig with my bare (unthimbled) hands if I have to, I want to couch with gold thread on velvet and learn to make crazy quilts so richly embroidered you can barely notice the fabric. I have samplers to make and I’d love to do a redwork quilt. I also have in mind taking some calligraphy and embroidering it to adorn our walls with scripture wisdom.
I just started embroidering, again and having fun! I would love some inspiration. Thanks for the giveaway.
I have Aimee’s first book, and would love the second!! Thanks for the giveaway!
I love to embroider on tea towels and the center block of pot holders as gifts. This book would give me tons of great motifs to use!
