Try your hand at some floral-inspired embroidery, with our glorious Embroidery Kits. All kits include the shades of Appledore Lace you need to make the samplers and embroidered project bag featured in The Annual, Issue Four, as well as a project bag and a limited edition button badge, to keep it all safe!
We adore a wee bit of embroidery. Whether it’s jazzing up an old knit, a project bag or making a sampler to display proudly on your bookshelf, embroidery adds that extra pizazz and makes even the most mundane object a thing of beauty!
In The Annual, Issue Four, we were thrilled to feature a very special sampler and stitch guide to show you how to make your own embroidered floral scene, courtesy of the fabulous Lorna of Stitch Birdie. We just couldn’t resist making some kits, so that you can recreate some of our delicious samples yourself. Your kit comes in a project bag so why not try recreating Lorna’s version yourself?
Here’s where to find the samplers and stitch guide in The Annual, Issue Four.
