Whitework with Colour

Renowned designer Trish Burr opens the door to a whole new world of creative possibilities by adding color to traditional whitework embroidery.
Exploring unusual color combinations, celebrated needle artist Trish Burr has created 17 projects that will entice you to start stitching. Ranging from complete beginner to more advanced, her designs include a gorgeous zen poppy, with bright bursts of red; a stunning sunrise over the ocean; a dragonfly nestled among flowers; and a pretty French country vase. Trish shares her own experiences and the methods that have worked best for her over the years, resulting in embroidery that is innovative, great fun, and seriously addictive.
