Trish Burr is a self-taught embroiderer who hungrily consumes all aspects of this fine craft. Through research and practice she has developed this individual technique of surface embroidery. She particularly admires the works of the French artist P.J. Redoute, whose paintings often grace the walls of many of our homes, and has personally stitched all the projects in this book in the hope that they will be enjoyed by other stitchers globally.
Karenplatt.co.uk: Early nineteenth century botanical artist, Frenchman Pierre Joseph Redoute is renowned for his paintings of flowers. These have inspired the embroideries of Trish Burr in this book. Trish takes seventeen paintings and transforms them into beautiful embroideries with great detail and colour. She uses simple stitiches and yet manages to create a complex effect with tone. The book initiates the beginner into creating delightful stitchery with an introduction, basic materials and equipment and the stitches to master to get you off to a good start. A starter project follows to ensure you practice your new-found skills. We then get into the meat of the book, the seventeen projects from Camellia, Rosa, iris, Anemone and many more favourites. Each project gives detailed materials and colours of thread (standard available world-wide). Every aspect of this book is accompanied by crystal clear line drawings and good photographs to guide you through the process. It is a wonderful 96-page book for all lovers of flowers, embroidery and Redoute.
