Hi all

Hope all are doing well and staying safe.

I love to do needle painting. It takes a lot of time to finish a small design. Whenever I saw a design that is done with long and short stitch, I also wanted to do one. So one fine day I ordered the above book through amazon. The price of the book is very reasonable. But the information present in the book is priceless. The pages of the book are all photo sheets. The cover itself is very beautiful and they are all like painting.

The book contains the basics of long and short stitch. The direction to be stitched and the colour way that has to be used to achieve the effect of shading is explained in detail.

Hi all

Hope all are doing good and staying safe. Today I am happy to share with you about the book Long and short stitch embroidery by Trish Burr.

The book starts with the basic shapes of a petal to more complicated shapes of leaves in a step by step way. Then comes smaller flower motifs and then medium flowers and finally a good selection of beautiful flowers.

Each project includes the outline of the pattern, then a picture to show the direction of the stitch flow and a finished picture of the project.

Another important thins in each project is that each project includes the list of thread numbers needed for that particular project and that is the best gift I got from this book because I am very poor in colour selection.

I have completed only one project till now. For the small flower I took a whole day but the result is very very beautiful. I have blogged about it here.

Next I will be doing the following flower. It's like a dream project to me. The above piece of embroidery is like a treasure to me. Though we can stitch these flowers for pillow cover or table linens, I will only frame it because the finished piece will be an absolute piece of art.
