The Kew Book of Nature Samplers Folder Edition

10 Embroidery Projects with Reusable Iron-on Transfers

Trish Burr

Description

This exquisite book is written by needlework expert Trish Burr in association with The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.

It features a starter project that introduces you to the most commonly used stitches, including long-and-short stitch, split stitch, satin stitch, bullions and French knots, then nine full sampler projects. The samplers feature a vast array of fauna and flora, including butterflies, bugs, birds, a rabbit and a hedgehog; lotuses, foxgloves, poppies, toadstools, and numerous wildflowers.

The book explains all the stitches needed, and gives thorough advice on preparation and choosing fabrics and threads including a handy thread conversion chart. All the projects are shown step-by-step, with an order of work diagram given where appropriate. The templates are included at full size.

All the reusable iron-on transfers needed are kept safely together with the book in an attractive hardback folder. The transfer papers offer embroiderers a fast and accurate method of transferring the designs. The templates are also included at full size at the back of the book.
