The Kew Book of Embroidered Flowers (Folder edition) - Trish Burr - Kew Books

Created in association with the Royal Botanic Gardens, the Kew Book of Embroidered Flowers (Folder edition) by needlework expert Trish Burr is a hardback how-to embroidery book designed to help you build confidence in flower embroidery through clear, step-by-step teaching. Inspired by botanical artworks from Kew’s Art Collection, it focuses mainly on long-and-short stitch and Trish Burr’s considered use of silk shading.

Inside, you’ll find 11 projects with easy-to-follow instructions, beginning with a starter project to practise techniques before progressing to a large sampler featuring 18 small elements that can be worked individually or as a group. A further 9 flower projects, including an elegant water-lily and an opulent magnolia, offer plenty of opportunity to refine your stitchwork. Thorough guidance covers preparation and choosing fabrics and threads, supported by clearly illustrated stitches and a handy thread conversion chart. Full-size templates and reusable iron-on embroidery transfers are included at the back of the book.
