Whitework with Colour by Trish Burr

Whitework Embroidery with Colour by Trish Burr

This hard cover book contains 17 embroidery projects from the well-known embroiderer Trish Burr. This is embroidery with a difference, inspired by freshness and elegance of the French Style of whitework embroidery but with some colour added, constrasting against the stark white.
The seventeen projects range from complete beginner to more advanced. No special skills are required, but a little practice will go a long way in helping you to master the technique. Trish uses a lot of raised and padded satin stitches in conjunction with stitches, such as dot stitch and eyelets to create different techniques.

Whitework Embroidery with Colour differs slightly from teh author's previous books in leaning more on her own experience and sharing methods that have worked best for her over the years. A self-taught embroiderer. Trish understands the need to present instructions in an esy-to-follow manner. Each project includes a list of the threads used, a detailed stitch diagram which shows which colours are used where, and comprehensive step-by-step instructions accompanied by photographs.
