Spend time in your own Clover meadow with this relaxing hand embroidery kit. This beautiful design includes cow parsley, white and purple clovers, and delicate chamomile flowers rambling against a richly coloured background.
The embroidery gives you the chance to learn and practice an interesting variety of stitches including split stitch, chain stitch and back stitch, along with French knots and Bullion Knots.
It also guides you through the process of adding a subtle sparkle to your work by using seed beads to anchor down delicate sequins and incorporating fine gold thread into your stitches. If you are new to stitching don’t worry as the illustrated Stitch Glossary is there to guide you through each stitch step by step.
The kits are designed to give you a relaxing stitching experience where you can enjoy some ‘me time’ whilst also creating a beautiful decoration for your home. With the design pre-printed onto the fabric there is no need for tracing, and everything you need is included in the kit apart from scissors and an embroidery hoop.
