[.ca] Redoute's Finest Flowers in Embroidery (ISBN 1863512934)

Redoute's Finest Flowers in Embroidery:
I bought this sight unseen which is unlike me but this surely would cause me to try that again !!! It is a needlework book of a higher level. By that I mean the novice and the expert can do it; only skill improves the work appearance. It is fully creative embroidery. I am making all 17 project designs and developing them into a moire quilt or cushions. The designs are smallish (5" or so ) but can then be incorporated into whatever your heart desires. They are very fast to do with any fabric of your choice for any textile idea you might hae in botanicals.

Great Book:
Until now my only stitching has been Cross Stitch, but having seen this publication it just makes me want to try to re-create just a fraction of the wonderful work Trish Burr has put into this book. She makes it seem so easy, which I am sure it is not; it is all very well explained, colourful, easy to follow and anyone interested in stitching should have a copy. My recommendation to all those stitchers out there "Buy a copy".

Excellent; Honors Redoute Well, Easy to Use:
The book provides all of the information anyone would need to teach themselves to embroider at home. The results are terrific. The author has done a superb job of recreating Redoute's elegant flower portraits. There is a great deal of value packed into this small book. Worth the price
