Part of a project on the Language of Flowers - you can find the free pattern and tutorials for a Forget-me-not flower over in my online studio, in the taster class here.

I have created a wreath kit for those who would rather have the printed antique linen and the threads all picked out for them.

Prettily packaged in our new mini kit folders, you have something in which to keep your stitching as you work.

The kit includes antique hand-printed linen, instructions and all threads required to complete the embroidery.

8” printed linen with the design approx 7cm square.

Note; because we antique linen then there will be variation in the colour, texture and weight from piece to piece.

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. 

All of our kits have been completed by complete beginners but we do rate our kits on a scale of 1-3 to help you

The ratings are

1) Absolute beginner

2) Enthusiastic beginner

3) Accomplished beginner 

This kit is rated - 2 - for Enthusiastic Beginners

WITH THANKS TO VICKI - THE BEAUTIFUL STITCH - FOR EMBROIDERING MY SAMPLES.

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.
