The Kew Book of Embroidered Flowers - Trish Burr

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 folder edition is complete with all the reusable iton-on transfers you need, safely stored inside the front pocket. 

The eleven beautiful embroideries are reworkings of botanical artworks from Kew's Art Collection. 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. 

The enclosed reusable iron-on transfer papers give a fast and accurate method of transferring the designs -- the transfers simply need ironing on to the fabric so that you can start embroidering straight away. The templates are also included at full size in the back of the book.
