Have you seen the adorable embroidery kits from Hawthorne Handmade? They are so cute and I love the fact that they use unusual animals in their designs its so nice not to just see a clip art bird on everything.
I picked up some supplies from them last year during their Black Friday sale and had it delivered to The Englishmans parents home as I knew we would be there for Christmas.
In theory the purchase was for my niece’s Christmas present. I wanted to give her something stitchy to do in the hope she will love it like I do. But I couldn’t resist sneaking in this stoat for myself.
The pattern comes pre printed on white cotton with the relevant coloured threads, a needle and a frame. Everything was very clearly laid out and simple to follow and a perfect gift for a beginner.
I finished it earlier in the year but never got around to properly framing it up ready to hang. To finish I’ve added a circle of white poplin to the back which I handstitched in place.
Now it’s all done and just awaiting a wall to go on.
