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
