I created this pattern to encompass some of the stitches taught in modules one and two of my Embroidery for Absolute beginners class ( studio.nickifranklin.com)

The kit includes antique hand-printed linen, instructions and all threads required to complete the project - but you will need you own hoop, needles and scissors.

The design is approx 10cm x 10cm (on a piece of linen 10" sq)

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.
