Our #BookOfTheWeek is Beautiful Embroidered Accessories by Lexi Mire Brantman. Meet Lexi, #embroider a Sprouting Coffee Plant Tote and #win the book from Melia.

Hi Cut Out and Keep folks! My name is Lexi Mire Brantman and I am an artist living in Jacksonville, Florida with my husband and two kitties. While my roots are in photography, my career in embroidery began thanks to Instagram. I started embroidering hats and other accessories for fun in 2017, and when my photos went viral on Instagram, hundreds of people wanted to order a hat! I stitched custom pieces for years, and when it became obvious that the demand was larger than I was able to keep up with, I started developing DIY tutorials, so my followers could create their own embroidered items. Many hats and projects later, I was given the opportunity to write a book to share how to stitch in my signature style. When I am not embroidering, I love experimenting with printmaking, painting and writing.
