Fiber Talk with Trish Burr II

Trish Burr’s Kew Book of Embroidered Flowers

Trish Burr joins us this week for a podcast sponsored by Sassy Jacks Stitchery. It’s been more than two years since we talked with Trish and she’s been busy developing a monochrome series and experimenting with embellishing painted/printed landscape scenes, while continuing to produce the needle-painting designs we all enjoy. Her biggest project has been producing the “Kew Book of Embroidered Flowers,” the latest edition to the Trish Burr library of needlework books. This time she collaborated with the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew and was able to develop designs from their vast collection of more than 200,000 pieces of botanical art. We explore what it takes to produce a book of this quality and what it offers to needleworkers at all levels. We also get a hint of what’s next for one of the top designers in the embroidery world. Enjoy the conversation and visit Trish’s social-media channels to explore and enjoy her work. –Gary
