Product Description
Review
Trish Burr has developed an individual approach to surface embroidery. In this book she concentrates on flowers and creates them in spectacular, detailed style. From beautiful magnolias to the flamboyant Gloriosa, from coy violas to blazing poppies, Trish captures the essence of the flowers in her works of art. Silk shading is recognised as one of the more challenging areas of embroidery and this book provides a comprehensive look at techniques for all skill levels. The book includes and introduction to materials, professional tips and a stitch directory. Colour-blending and needle-painting are covered in depth making this a good reference work. There are four flower starter projects, three smaller flowers to work and fourteen full-size projects. In addition there are many leaves to work. This 128 page book is brimming with glorious flowers that you will want to stitch.-KarenPlatt.co.uk

Trish's book is absolutely beautiful, and a must have for everyone's collection. It is easy to read, easy to understand and illustrated in a way that the flowers seem to jump off the page. If you have not yet placed an order, do so and be prepared to spend a quiet relaxing evening just looking at this lovely book. It will make the non-stitcher want to learn to embroider..........

This book is exactly what it says - a collection of flowers in long and short stitch. It is beautifully laid out, with clear instructions for the technique and what is required for each flower. It offers guidance which could be followed by a beginner but is also invaluable to someone who already has experience but wants to develop their skill. Once learned the skill can be applied to any flower or leaf. Invaluable for the embroiderer.

I found this book excellent with clear instructions and beautiful illustrations. Recommended by a friend I know many ladies who have bought it to help their learning of long and short stitch. I also suggest buying the CD if you are serious about long and short stitch.
