Redoute's Finest Flowers in Embroidery brings to life in surface embroidery the timeless, original flower paintings by the famous French artist, Pierre Joseph Redoute. The style of embroidery is unique in it's use of certain aspects of traditional and modern surface techniques, together with raised and padded areas and small amounts of stumpwork, to create a realistic 3D effect, which lends itself perfectly to the formation of flower studies.

The main aim of this book is to provide the user with the simplest means to achieving the most professional finish, and to this end detailed step-by-step instructions, diagrams and coloured photographs accompany each of the 18 projects, making them suitable for both beginners and advanced stitchers alike.

Industry Reviews

Karenplatt.co.uk: Early nineteenth century botanical artist, Frenchman Pierre Joseph Redoute is renowned for his paintings of flowers. These have inspired the embroideries of Trish Burr in this book. Trish takes seventeen paintings and transforms them into beautiful embroideries with great detail and colour. She uses simple stitiches and yet manages to create a complex effect with tone. The book initiates the beginner into creating delightful stitchery with an introduction, basic materials and equipment and the stitches to master to get you off to a good start. A starter project follows to ensure you practice your new-found skills. We then get into the meat of the book, the seventeen projects from Camellia, Rosa, iris, Anemone and many more favourites. Each project gives detailed materials and colours of thread (standard available world-wide). Every aspect of this book is accompanied by crystal clear line drawings and good photographs to guide you through the process. It is a wonderful 96-page book for all lovers of flowers, embroidery and Redoute.
