The Kew Book of Embroidered Flowers

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.

All the reusable iron-on transfers needed are kept safely together with the book in an attractive hardback folder.

The embroideries are reworkings of botanical artworks from Kew's Art Collection. There is one 'starter' project to encourage readers to try out the techniques, one large sampler containing 18 small elements that can be worked individually or as a group, and nine further projects including a striking spider chrysanthemum, an elegant waterlily and an opulent magnolia.

All the projects are shown step-by-step, with an order of work diagram given where appropriate.
