Bunny in the Daffodils: an original hand embroidery kit design for Easter

What is included in the kit?

  • A delightful hand embroidery kit featuring a little rabbit nestled in spring daffodils.
  • The embroidery design hand printed on a folded piece of French antique French Linen, enough to make the finished embroidery into an egg cosy, or use the spare linen for a second rabbit by transferring the design from the drawing.
  • A thread card loaded with all the threads you will need to complete the design.
  • A folder printed in full colour with instructions, illustrations and an actual-sise drawing of the design.  Instructions for making up an egg cosy can be found in the Free Downloads section.
Perfect for an egg cosy for the Easter table, a small embroidered picture for a nursery or needlebook cover.

Additional Information

I love wild rabbits. It is partly the Beatrix Potter-drenched childhood, but mostly they are just adorable.

So, here is a rabbit, just over 2 1/2 inches high, with daffodils, for you to stitch in time for Easter. There is enough linen for you to make it into an egg cosy for the Easter table, or you could make a little needle case or notebook cover for an alternative to chocolate for an Easter gift. Use the drawing in the kit to make a second one on your own fabric. A little egg cosy for the first boiled egg also makes a charming christening gift.

Anyone can tackle this: the stitches are straight stitches, sometimes close together like satin, sometimes a version of long-and-short stitch. More important is imagining the fur of a rabbit as you stitch. The palest pink ears and the little nose are my favourite bits.

Update for US customers

2 September 2025

Just a brief update to say that  Royal Mail and Parcelforce have merged and come up with a fantastic new system. It just requires some serious tweaks to the website, so if US customers could just hold off for a few more days while I ascertain precisely where we stand, and my website developer implements the changes which will enable us to send kits and journals ‘fully landed’, with the customer seeing the duty paid at the checkout. The Stitcher’s Journal is free of duty. My embroidery kits bear 11.4%. My bundles of used fabrics are also free of duty. So we are just setting up accounts and integrating the website, and I am very hopeful that any price increases will be minimal.

I am taking the opportunity to re-stock the website at the same time, so that we can re-open with some new things on offer. I am also working on Issue 26 of The Stitcher’s Journal to come out later this month.

Changes can be unsettling, but sometimes, once one gets to grips with them, things don’t look so bad so I just want to reassure my US customers that it is not all doom and gloom.

A newsletter will be going out as soon as everything is set up. I am also confident that I can soon open up to the EU again; I have an online meeting with a Product Safety Compliance Company in which I hope to demonstrate that neither The Stitcher’s Journal nor my embroidery kits pose a danger to anyone. 

Thank you for your patience and supportive messages, each one just spurs me on, even after a long day buried in the Harmonised Tariff Schedule, which actually makes the most fascinating and distracting reading!

With very best wishes,
Caroline
