Additional Information

At an antiques fair, an exhibitor brought two enormous French zinc buckets into which she had planted the tallest, most glamorous foxgloves. They are the inspiration for this embroidery, for which I have chosen some beautiful variegated threads.  The kit is contained within a pretty card folder, printed with the full colour design together with illustrated instructions. Dotted among these are some other ideas you could embroider and a few facts about foxgloves.

The finished design is roughly 15cm square.

Suitable for all levels.  If you are a complete beginner, you might want to look at My Favourite Stitches, which you may download free of charge from the Free Downloads section of The Shop.

To complete the kit you will need a 7″ or 8″ embroidery hoop, a selection of embroidery needles (sizes 8 – 10, depending on how comfortable you feel working with smaller needles; remember, the higher the number, the smaller the needle!) and a pair of small, sharp embroidery scissors.
