A wonderful little embroidery book depicting dogs in various styles of stitch. There are some wonderful ideas for all tastes, and the embroidery could be used to decorate all sorts of items. A well illustrated stitch library is includes and colour graphs where appropriate.
Wonderful for embroiderers and dog lovers alike.

In this book we see how much we can create realistic looking embroidered art of our pet dogs and also how many realistic and fantasy inspired designs we also can recreate are included in the designs in the book.



Colourful, cute and easy to follow stitch and kit needed guides mean even beginners can follow this book easily as it's a short, concise guide for anyone to try and recreate the art from inside.



It is a perfect book for a stitch fanatic dog lover or someone wanting to try a new hobby as the designs range from basic to more difficult ones and can easily be adapted for use.



Many thanks to the publishers for allowing me to review this book for them!

A cute book filled with different dog embroidery patterns. It includes materials, tips and techniques for anyone trying out the designs in this book. Perfect for dog and art lovers.

Thank you to Quarto Publishing Group - Creative Publishing International and NetGalley for an ARC of this book n exchange for an honest review.

I love my dog <3. And I really enjoyed the I Love My Dog Embroidery book. There are so many pictures and ideas in there. I plan to purchase the book so that I can complete some of the projects.

An adorable cute embroidery book decicated to dogs. All popular dog breeds are pictured. 'm excited to start embroidery.

I Love My Dog Embroidery 380 Stitch Motifs for Dog Moms and Dads by MakikoArt had me at Embroidery and Dogs. What a delightful book. With embroidery being all the rage now this book is right on target. There are dogs of every type, size and breed. If you love embroidery and love your fur babies this book is for you. While you can obviously make the embroideries given in the book what I really love is that the authors tell you how to customize the embroidery to fit your favorite pooch. This is a really fun book.

Cute patterns and ideas for the dog lovers who like to stitch. Fun to look through for ideas and full size patterns including some cross stitch are included from a variety of designers.

The designs in this book are so cute. I like that the images have different styles, ranging from a simple sketch to more detail. I enjoyed look at all the dogs and will certainly try out some.

Some of the best dog embroidery forms out there. I love the designs in this book. I also found the section on knots interesting. I am a machine embroiderer and would love to be able to use these for that purpose. My Grandmother was a hand embroiderer and taught me the basic essentials so it was nice to read this book and revisit those skills.

This is so cute, in the book I found so many ideas about dog embroidery. The funniest one in the peeing dog, ha ha. Thank you Netgalley for this nice book.

Very cute dog patterns to embroider. I enjoyed looking through this book and can see myself stitching some of these on many different fabrics! Thanks to NetGalley for the free download and to the author and publisher. Very nice book!

I Love My Dog Embroidery is a tutorial gallery and guide for canine inspired surface embroidery from MakikoArt / Oksana Kokovkina. Published 11th Dec 2018 on Quarto's Creative Publishing Int'l imprint, it's 120 pages and available in paperback format.

This is a really fun book. The vast majority of the included designs are surface embroidery, but there are a very few charted counted (cross stitch) projects as well. The book includes a color photo gallery of all the designs numbered sequentially. This first section is followed by a photo inspiration gallery showing finishing suggestions for some of the included designs. There are the usual framed, hooped, and napkin type finishes but the gallery also includes some really cute unusual ideas such as clothing embellishment, greeting cards and jewelry. There's a tools and instructional chapter with stitch diagrams and tutorials and after that, a detailed stitch diagram guide for each of the included designs with suggested colorways and stitch details.

The book does include full size templates for use.

Really cute designs and I really like seeing surface embroidery getting some attention.
Nearly all the dog breeds I could think of were included in this collection; there's something for everyone.

Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.

Più di trecento motivi, tutte le razze più o meno conosciute di cani, che giocano o dormono, mangiano o fanno coccole, saltano o corrono: possibilità infinite per chi ama i cani, e vuole tenere un ricordo del proprio amico sempre con sé, negli oggetti di ogni giorno.
L'unico difetto è lo stile, che non mi piace particolarmente, e il fatto che non vengano proposti lavori che possano essere d'ispirazione per l'utilizzo degli schemi.

Thank you for granting my wish for this book, I can't wait to get started! I like that instructions are clear and easy to follow, would be good for beginners.
Great selection of all the dogs you could ever want to embroider, it's going to be a great weekend with this book. ❤️

I couldn't resist this collection of dog themed embroidery designs. I felt some were more successful than others, but with hundreds of designs here from popular dog breeds to cartoonish designs to outlines and funny designs, there is something to suit any dog loving maker!

Thank you to Quarto Publishing Group - Creative Publishing International and NetGalley for the opportunity to review this fun book in exchange for my honest review.

This book has pages and pages of various embroidery designs ranging from 96 different breeds of dog, fun dogs, outlines, sporty dogs, seasonal dogs, astrological dogs and many many more templates to try yourself. There is a section of project inspirations to give you ideas on how to use these designs, a detailed list of materials and tools needed and clear step by step instructions of stitches and techniques used.

The finished pictures and examples look great but the instructions on how to do them do look a little bit more complicated! Whilst the instructions on how to do the stitches are clear at the front of the book, when you come to the templates for the designs further on in the book I couldn’t remember how the stitches were done, so had to keep flicking backwards and forwards through the book. Obviously, I’m a complete novice! If I practiced more and got better, I’m sure I would be able to do them without looking at the instructions!

The actual designs are lovely and whilst it is a super cute book for any dog lover I think if you are a beginner at embroidery this book may be difficult to follow and is probably more aimed at intermediate to advanced level. But the designs are beautiful and the project inspirations gives you lots more ideas as to what these designs could be incorporated into! Would definitely recommend if you are a dog loving embroiderist!

I love the variety of designs in this book and the fact it has a few basic ‘how to’s’ for stitching.
