Clover Meadow Hand Embroidery Kit

Clover Meadow Hand embroidery Kit by Beaks and Bobbins. Stitch your own beautiful wildflower meadow with this relaxing hand embroidery kit. The 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 (although an equally effective result can be achieved with chain stitch if you are not a fan!). 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’ and recharge your batteries, whilst also creating a beautiful decoration for your home which you can continue to enjoy. With the design pre-printed onto the fabric so there is no need for tracing, and everything you need included everything is ready for you to get stitching.
