Long and short stitch embroidery by Trish Burr---It's not just a book, it's a treasure!




Recently, my sister gifted me the embroidery book "Long and short stitch embroidery: A collection of flowers" by Trish Burr. It is a must-have for any embroiderer interested in this type of embroidery. After reading this book I was able to understand what mistakes I have been making in my previous long and short embroidery projects.



This book is very useful and you can improve your long and short embroidery skills by carefully following the tips and techniques given by Trish.


The long and short flower photos are lovely. They look like real flowers. What a talent the author has! Trish is really a great embroiderer! Her perspicuous way of teaching the long and short embroidery techniques is to be appreciated! There are lots of small to large flower projects with clear instructions for beginners to advanced-level embroiderers.





Out of these, my favorites are the hibiscus and red bearded iris.








Thanks Trish for this well-written and beautifully compiled book. I love this book and am totally addicted to it. I highly recommend this book to any embroidery enthusiast who wants to improve their embroidery skills.
