DigitEMB Bookish Patch Iron On Book Lover Gifts Reading Book Patches

A heart, and inside it, a full bookshelf. Four shelves of books - teal, magenta, mustard, purple, green - packed into a heart-shaped wooden frame, with a trailing plant spilling over one edge and small ornaments tucked between the spines. It is a dense piece of embroidery and it rewards a close look. The colour range is the achievement here. Each book spine is a separate run of thread, which is why the shelves read as individual books rather than a striped block. At 2.8 by 3 inches it works on a canvas tote, a denim jacket, a backpack or a cap. The heat-activated backing bonds to cotton and canvas with five full minutes of firm, steady pressing. If it is going on the tote bag you carry books in, stitch the border - daily weight is what breaks an adhesive bond. Made by digitemb, who make embroidered patches and nothing else.
