Hazel, above, is one of my favorites from the book. I am working on it now, in different colors! I am reminded of Hazel, the main character in Richard Adam's novel Watership Down!
I also love this landscape with a cornucopia and cottage on the hill.
Simpler patterns will appeal to new at stitching, such as the squirrel and bird motifs for linen kitchen towels as shown below.
Great Rewards from Stitches From the Harvest
This pear and vine motif table runner would look lovely with a harvest dinner table.
Are you into less decorative items? There are patterns for zippered pouches, a bird coat pin, a tote, a sachet, and a pincushion, seen below.
Below is a needle keeper, and a pocketed notion keeper pattern is also shared.

The ebook has links to the website to download and print a PDF of the patterns. Embroidery basics, cording basics, floss color chart, and a resource guide is included in the book.
Schmitz is a MODA fabric designer and sells her own patterns. Her previous book is Stitches From the Garden; the pillow below is from that book.
