A must-have for anyone interested in capturing flowers in thread.

This sumptuous, 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.

Focusing mainly on long-and-short stitch and Trish’s delicate, considered use of silk shading, the book contains all the stitches needed, clearly illustrated, and gives thorough advice on preparation and choosing fabrics and threads – including a handy thread conversion chart. The projects from the book are full-size transfers included in the front pocket of the hard-backed folder.
