Trish Burr's Embroidery Transfers
If you've ever stared at a blank piece of fabric wondering where on earth to begin, this collection from celebrated embroiderer Trish Burr might be exactly what you've been waiting for. Drawn from her popular published works, including Needle Painting Embroidery and Whitework with Colour, it brings together over 70 iron-on transfer designs, with six fresh additions that haven't appeared in her books before. Flowers, birds, animals, figures, charming little vignettes: the variety is genuinely impressive. Each design can be transferred, stored, and used again, which makes the whole thing practical as well as pretty. A short introductory section at the front offers colour guidance for every design, alongside straightforward advice on getting the transfers onto fabric without fuss. The bulk of the book is the transfer paper itself, ready to use. Full project instructions aren't included here, but they're available in Burr's other titles, so it works best as part of a wider collection. The photography is gorgeous, printed on glossy pages that make browsing a genuine pleasure. Burr herself is a self-taught embroiderer who specialises in needle painting and whitework, and her enthusiasm for sharing the craft comes through clearly. Whether you're just finding your feet or already comfortable with a needle, this is a generous, well-considered resource that takes the guesswork out of getting started.
