Mystical Stitches: Embroidery for Personal Empowerment and Magical Embellishment

Hand embroidery can be a joyous respite from busy daily life. It is an exploration of material, an invitation to slow down, and it allows time for contemplation.

Mystical Stitches combines this beloved and accessible craft with a spiritual element, introducing nearly 200 original designs for different symbols readers can use to create personal icons to wear or embellish items in the home.

Christi Johnson offers patterns inspired by botanicals, animals, numbers, the cosmos, earth elements, and mythological icons for novice or well-practiced crafters to combine into talismans with personal meaning. Johnson's folk art style is vibrant and unintimidating and provides a framework for bringing spiritual elements into physical form. In addition to basic techniques, an overview of material options, and an illustrated encyclopedia of stitches.

The extensive treasury of symbols is lavishly photographed in hand-stitched, full-color spreads that will inspire readers to create personalized designs to stitch on clothes, hang on the wall, place on an altar, carry with them, or display in a place of prominence.

...because we're always looking for more mindfulness activities, and since we're not typically big fiber artists this book is amazing inspo! We started out carrying Christi's enchanted patches, but finding a way to DIY? Amazing! Plus Christi was featured in the 2021 issue of Bust magazine along with our HWIC Erica Feldmann- we're always happy to be in her company!
