Synopsis

Created for stitchers drawn to miniature art, this collection presents a wide choice of small-scale designs intended to be as satisfying to embroider as larger pieces, while taking less time to complete. Burr sets out clear guidance on long and short stitch, explaining how to adapt the technique across different projects, and supports each design with a detailed thread diagram showing colour placement.

The projects span portraits, birds and flowers, followed by an additional section of smaller Victorian pansies and buds, also supplied with thread diagrams. Thread charts act as a project-by-project shopping list, with Anchor and DMC conversion charts included near the end, alongside supplier information. With ideas for uses ranging from framed groupings to small needlework items, it suits embroiderers looking for flexible, giftable projects and a focus on silk shading and thread painting.
