A Bowl of Primroses: capture these delicate spring flowers in hand embroidery

What is included in the kit?

  • A unique hand embroidery kit by Caroline Zoob, suitable for all levels.
  • The original embroidery design hand printed on a generously-sized piece of French antique linen.
  • A thread card loaded with all the threads you will need to complete the kit, including three perfect pale primrose shades created especially for Caroline Zoob by The Beautiful Stitch.
  • A six-panel folder printed in full colour, containing clear and comprehensive instructions, an actual size drawing of the design (enabling you to transfer it should you wish to stitch the piece again) and additional illustrations for  clarity and inspiration.
Inspired by the gorgeous primroses we had in the garden this spring, flowering so profusely I was able to pick bowlfuls at a time.

Additional Information

‘ ‘Tis Spring, come out to ramble the hilly brakes around,
and under thorn and bramble, above the hollow ground
The primroses are found…’

A.E.  Housman, The Lent Lily

Do not be intimidated by those leaves! They are just straight stitches really and actually quite simple to stitch, it just takes some time. The finished embroidery is roughly 14cm / 5 1/2″  square,  and looks beautiful framed in this antique French frame. Sometimes I have these for sale in The Rummage Room.

PLEASE NOTE

Update for ALL customers

27 October 2025

I am delighted to announce that we are now able to ship to the US, duty paid and, for the time being, I will absorb the duty.
 

Issue 26 of The Stitcher’s Journal has now been despatched to all overseas subscribers and you should shortly be receiving emails from Royal Mail confirming this, with a tracking number. 

The website has had to be reconfigured so that shipping is no longer included in the prices, but is rather a flat rate, set for whichever country we are sending  to — including the UK — and will be shown at the checkout.  I have of course reduced the kit prices, which used to include shipping, but I have also taken this opportunity to review my prices which have not increased to reflect the considerable increase in costs since February 2022. All in all, I think the results are fair, especially as in carrying out this exercise I realise I have been heavily subsidising the actual postage costs for the past three years.
 
Unfortunately, we are not currently able to take advantage of the Large Letter Rate for shipping to the US, but on a positive note (!)  all orders are now tracked and the flat rate has a greater weight allowance.
 
I will be adding some new kits, bundles and vintage finds and fabrics to the site today, Monday 27th October and through the week, and I really hope things will run smoothly now. 
 
Thank you so much for your support and patience, it means more than I can say.
 
With very best wishes,

Caroline
