The Early Morning Walk: an ‘enchantingly atmospheric’ design

What's included in the kit?

  • An 'enchantingly atmospheric' hand-embroidery design, evoking a romantic garden scene.
  • A generously-sized piece of French antique linen, hand-printed with the embroidery design.
  • A fully loaded thread card with all the threads in beautiful, subtle shades you will need to complete the embroidery.
  • A folded 6-panel card enclosing the kit, printed with clear instructions and llustrations which are both helpful and inspiring.
This was originally one of the eight Stitcher's Journal Collection of hand embroidery kits accompanying the very first eight issues of The Stitcher's Journals in 2019 and 2020.  

Price range: £45.00 through £49.95

Additional Information

One of our perennial best sellers, perhaps because so many share my fantasy of drifting, clad perhaps in a silk kimono, to check my seedlings in a perfect greenhouse at the bottom of a wildflower meadow bisected by a mown path. There is nothing quite like a garden in the early morning light of late spring, everything heavy with dew.

You can download My Favourite Stitches, a series of illustrated  stitch cards for the stitches used in the design. There is also the wonderful online resource of the RSN Stitch Bank. The painting is optional, but very easy. You can also download my guide to Painting on Linen from the Free Downloads section of the Shop.

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
