This sumptuous and inspiring book, written by needlework expert
Trish Burr and created in association with The Royal Botanic
Gardens, Kew, is a stunning, contemporary guide to embroidering
flowers. All the reusable iron-on transfers needed are kept safely
together with the book in an attractive hardback folder. Focusing
mainly on long-and-short stitch and Trish's delicate, considered
use of silk shading, the book contains all the clearly-illustrated
stitches needed, and gives thorough advice on preparation and
choosing fabrics and threads - including a handy thread conversion
chart. The embroideries are reworkings of botanical artworks from
Kew's Art Collection. There is one 'starter' project to encourage
readers to try out the techniques, one large sampler containing 18
small elements that can be worked individually or as a group, and
nine further projects - including a striking spider chrysanthemum,
an elegant waterlily and an opulent magnolia. All the projects are
shown step-by-step, with an order of work diagram given where
appropriate. The enclosed reusable iron-on transfer papers offer
embroiderers a fast and accurate method of transferring the designs
- the transfers simply need ironing on to fabric so that the reader
can start embroidering straight away. The templates are also
included at full size at the back of the book. This stunning yet
practical book is a must-have for anyone interested in capturing
flowers in thread.
