AlbakiReads Editorial A field-guide approach to stitching North American wildlife
A field-guide approach to stitching North American wildlife
Organized around seven North American ecosystems—desert, mountain, forest, waterways, prairie, ocean, and urban—this embroidery collection pairs 52 animal and plant motifs with a practical introduction to materials, stitches, and techniques. The designs range from familiar wildlife such as bears and river otters to lesser-known and potentially threatened species, giving the book a broader ecological frame than a standard motif collection. Projects are grouped across beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels, while the approximately three-inch scale keeps them geared toward personalizing garments, bags, caps, and other stitchable surfaces. A dedicated “fur stitch” is included for rendering mammal coats.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Embroiderers seeking nature-themed motifs for wearable or everyday items
- Beginners who want instruction alongside patterns, with room to progress
- Wildlife and ecosystem enthusiasts interested in North American species

With this fun collection of projects in field-guide format, stitch your favorite animal, bird, fish, and plant species based on the ecosystems you love or live in.
Organized according to seven North American ecosystems--desert, mountain, forest, waterways, prairie, ocean, and urban--the 52 beautifully accurate designs by naturalist Kemper include popular species (think bears, manatees, and river otters) and some that are less well known or are potentially threatened.
Beginner-level patterns coexist with intermediate and advanced patterns. Learn the materials, stitches (including the one-of-a-kind "fur stitch," which renders mammal fur beautifully!), and techniques. Measuring approximately 3 inches, the creatures are perfect to adorn any stitchable surface.
A denim jacket with a snappy alligator? A cap featuring a herring gull and ocher sea stars? A tote sporting a Gila monster? Or perhaps there's a shirt pocket calling for a badger. These designs bring nature anywhere and allow you to wear your favorite wildlife species sustainably.
