If you’ve ever struggled with choosing the perfect colors for your embroidery projects, Colour Confidence in Embroidery is the book you didn’t know you needed. I picked this up at my local library out of curiosity, and within minutes, I knew I had to review it. Trish Burr takes the mystery out of color selection and turns it into an approachable, creative process that transforms needlework from simple stitching to true artistry.
This book isn’t just about color theory—it’s about how to use color to bring embroidery to life. Burr dives into shading, blending, contrast, and how different hues work together to create stunning effects. What I love most is that she doesn’t just tell you what works—she shows you with over 200 stitched examples, complete with DMC thread keys. Whether you’re stitching delicate roses, vibrant fruits, or elegant birds, the projects in this book will elevate your embroidery skills.
The instructions are clear, the photography is gorgeous, and the guidance on color selection makes even the most hesitant stitcher feel confident in experimenting. This book is a must-have for anyone looking to refine their embroidery skills and add more depth and vibrancy to their work.
