*kit includes linen, thread and instructions.
Description from The Stitchery Studio “Cottage Garden Bouquet is an embroidery kit inspired by hand-picked blooms from a beautiful cottage garden and incorporates hollyhocks, foxgloves, daisies and veronica tied with a lovely little bow in antique linen string.
Note: the linen provided is sufficient for the embroidery but does not make a cushion or pillow.
We have shown in our example that a pillow/cushion can be patch worked together with more linen and this is the same for all of our kits.
The kit includes antique hand-printed linen, instructions and all threads required to complete the project. If you are a visual learner you will also find supporting tutorials on my youtube channel.
All materials are beautifully presented in a sturdy, professionally printed folder tied with frayed linen, based on the design of the handmade folders that Kate Nicole (Oyster Bridge & Co) makes for my embroidery workshops. Kate has provided all of the illustrations and hand-calligraphy for the kits, together with a ‘Stitchery Favourites’ reference card that will soon be available to buy online in my haberdashery department alongside my favourite scissors, needles, hoops and threads.
Ideal as gifts or for yourself, The Stitchery embroidery kits are designed with beginners in mind, as well 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.
