1. New kit - blackwork Tiger

   Posted on 5:33pm Sunday 23rd Sep 2012

   The long awaited Tiger blackwork kit is now available in the shop! Based on an original apprenticeship piece designed and stitched by myself, this Tiger is worked on 28 count Bantry (Quaker) linen and the kit comes with everything you need to work this piece including linen, needles, threads and very comprehensive instructions; consider it a lesson in a kit! Due to the complexity of the design, this kit is more suited to those with some experience of counted embroidery.

   If you need something a little simpler to get you going, cross stitch is a great place to start. You could try my new 'Red Rose' cross stitch kit or look out for some smaller cross stitch designs on their way soon!
