WIN a copy of Mandalas to Embroider!
Search Press, the publisher of Mandalas to Embroider: Kaleidoscope Stitching in a Hoop by Carina Envoldsen-Harris (the beautiful embroidery pattern book I reviewed last week) have kindly offered one PlanetJune reader the chance to win a free copy of this lovely book!
If you’ve already picked up your copy, enter to win a copy to give to a friend – it’d make a lovely gift for anyone crafty 🙂
I’m delighted with the embroidery that I made using the Sakura Clusters pattern from the book (and it was my first time doing a proper embroidery, so you can definitely do this too):

Such a lovely book. I would like to win a copy of it. Especially as I am not so good at embriodery, and it is a craft I’d like to get better at. Seems like the perfect fit.
Zoe said
Yes please! 😉 I’ve never done any embroidery whatsoever, but that book is absolutely gorgeous!
Sue McKenzie said
These are beautiful! And they look easier than the one I’ve tried to crochet. Ready to try this.

Hi, thank you for the opportunity to own this book. I’m a novice embroider and think these patterns would suit me. Many thanks Julie ?

Hi June, I would love to win a copy of this book. I enjoy doing surface and crewEl embroidery but have never done any of mandalas. The book looks like it is wonderful.

Great! I do crocheting and sometimes counted cross stitch in the evenings. During the day I make scroll-saw items out of wood. I have looked at Mandalas patterns for something I could cut in wood. So this book just might give me some ideas for making a wood cut cross-stitch/Mandala.
Thanks much.

What lovely designs, and great work June! I would love to win this book.

I would love to win this book the patterns look amazing.
Lindy said
The book looks great, and I think your embroidery is lovely. I used to do embroidery years ago at school!

Oooh, that would be lovely to win this book 🙂 I am afraid, though, that I have no talent for embroidery whatsoever (at least I didn’t as a child) but I would love to be able to create such beautiful embroideries like my grandma used to do, or my mum still can. That would be a chance – the much needed kick 😉 – to start something new and just try it 🙂
You did a marvellous job and I like the choice of colours you used 🙂
Terry Schwartz said
I haven’t done embroidery in many years. This book looks amazing … what a lovely way to get back into the craft.
Lynne Sosnowski said
I recently started dabbling in embroidery – initials or small flowers on hankies – trying to recall what I learned more than 40 years ago. This is a beautiful book, thank you for letting us know about it.
Helen said
I can crochet and knit but my embroidery skills leave a lot to be desired. I would love to win this for my mum as she is fantastic at embroidery and being a mum!

So pretty!!!
Irene McRaven said
Hi June! I love your blog! I love to crochet and am learning to knit. But embroidery is one craft that I learned as a child that I haven’t done for some time. The mandela’s in this book are lovely and make me want to pick up my embroidery hobby again!
Selene Cheng said
I’ve done cross stitch and some simple embroidery before, but haven’t returned to it for years. I hope I can win this book because those mandalas look absolutely stunning!
Cori said
I once decided I would tryto teach myself embroidery, bought ALL THE THINGS, and then hated what I made so hopefully, if I win this book, I’ll have a good reference that will renew my love for the art!
Jackie said
Yes please! 🙂
Tiffany Pierson said
June I love all your stuff and have both your books. I am teaching my 3 year old how to crochet any tips?
June said
Tiffany, I’d recommend a large hook, a smooth bulky yarn, and lots of patience and encouragement! 3 is very young, so I’d just teach your child how to make a slip knot on the hook (or even do that for them), and how to chain, then just let them practice chaining for a long time. There’s a lot a child can make from crocheted chains!
Alisa said
I have not done embroidery in a long time, but the patterns in this book inspire me to pick it up again. Thank you so much for a chance to win this wonderful book!
Rachel said
I would love to learn how to do embroidery, it always looks so amazing and elegant.
Anne Marie said
I love embroidery work and this book would be perfect – thanks for the chance to win.
Kate said
I would love to win this book, I can certainly use a refresher on embroidery! Thank you for the chance to win!
Lisa Bond said
These are really beautiful. They maybe way outside my comfort zone but I sure would love to try.
June said
They are much easier than they look – especially if you start with one of the small designs 🙂

Heather said
I’d love a chance to win this book. While I’m pretty confident with my counted needlework, my embroidery really does need some work.
I also loved your review! It was very informative. And your embroidery turned out wonderful.

Good day – I have asked if you do an e-book version of Amigurumi but I don’t know where to look for the answer – don’t even know if you received it – so here’s hoping you get this one – many thanks
