The Stitchery Journal - Month Eight - Apple Tree House

£32.50

This embroidery kit was the eighth issue of The Stitchery monthly subscription embroidery project from 2020.

Haven is a series of embroidery designs with a focus on home and the places we go to feel safe, cosy and happy.

This embroidery is called the Apple Tree House - NOTE: THE TYPED TAG SHOWN ON THE PICTURE DOES NOT COME WITH THE KIT.

The kit comes with pre printed antique linen (10" square), instructions and plenty of threads. The design is approx 18cm by 16 cm.

You will need to have a simple sewing kit to include small, sharp, embroidery scissors, an assorted packet of embroidery/crewel needles and an embroidery hoop.

There is the option of a little colouring/painting with this kit, just within the tree canopy.

On the blog (dates below (www.nickifranklin.com)) on our website is a little guide of how to paint on linen and we recommend you look at this if this is your first time using paint on linen.
