Narrative from the original subscription ….

Join us for the sixth year of Stitchery subscription kits! This year we will be stitching flowers in the style of vintage seed packets. I am creating my own designs and choosing a different flower to stitch each month. Similarly to my Postcards from England series, the embroideries will be small and mountable to A6 postcards, which I will be doing to display in a book.

This year the designs are printed to beautiful new linen, woven, finished and printed in England. If you have stitched any of our previous designs on this new linen you will know how wonderful it is to work into. Each design will be printed centrally onto a 10” square of fabric so that you have options on how to finish the project if a book doesn’t appeal.

Ideal as gifts or for yourself, The Stitchery embroidery kits are designed with beginners in mind, as well as advanced stitchers. 

The aim is not to produce a perfect piece of needlework but to encourage the stitcher to slow down and enjoy a little old-fashioned calmness and serenity in a world that is becoming increasingly fast-paced and perhaps a little stressful at times.
