Undergo a personal transformation through the stitching of dreams and intentions in this creativity-inspiring craft book.

Anything but ordinary, Mystical Stitches combines the beloved and accessible craft of embroidery with a spiritual element, introducing a rich treasury of 200 magical symbols you can use to set an intention and create personal icons to wear or embellish items in the home.

Johnson's folk art style is vibrant and unintimidating and provides a framework for bringing spiritual elements into physical form.
