From the Publisher
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.
This stunning yet practical book is a must-have for anyone interested in capturing flowers in thread. The 11 beautiful embroidery projects are reworkings of botanical artworks from Kew’s Art Collection.
Safely store the transfers in the front pocket
This folder edition is complete with all the reusable iron-on transfers you need, safely stored inside the front pocket.
Attractive hard back folder
All the reusable iron-on transfers needed are kept safely together with the book in an attractive hardback folder.
Full-size templates at the back of the book
The templates are included in the book at full size – simply trace them off and transfer them to your fabric using your chosen method.
Step-by-step instructions
All of the projects are shown step-by-step, with an order of work diagram given where appropriate.
The enclosed reusable iron-on transfer papers give a fast and accurate method of transferring the designs – the transfers simply need ironing on to fabric so that you can start embroidering straight away. The templates are also included at full size at the back of the book.
Focusing mainly on long-and-short stitch and Trish’s delicate, considered use of silk shading, the book clearly illustrates all the stitches needed, and gives thorough advice on preparation and choosing fabrics and threads – including a handy thread conversion chart.
