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

Fiber Talk with Trish Burr

We travel to South Africa this week to have a conversation with the talented and innovative embroidery designer Trish Burr, a self-taught master of the art of embroidery. Her needlepainted birds and botanicals are eye-popping and her whitework-with-color designs have broken new ground for surface embroiderers.

She has authored numerous books, including her latest ebook, “Floral Alphabet,” which offers beautiful designs that combine whitework and needlepainting. Trish has a blog that should be on everyone’s feed list and is making a change in her business to allow more time for stitching and to create more advanced designs. We talk about all of those topics and learn about the early days when she was teaching herself the skills from which we all benefit today. Enjoy the conversation and please share it with your fellow needleworkers.–Gary and Christine
