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

8 December 2025

Just a little update.
 
We ship to the US, duty paid, by us. The postage has gone up a bit because we have to use a new system. 
 

Issue 27 of The Stitcher’s Journal will be despatched early next week. I am just working on the last tweaks now. 

As soon as it has gone to print I shall be launching a new embroidery kit to enjoy through the twelve days, and my Christmas Inspiration bundles – bundles of linen printed with Christmas foliage and motifs, interleaved with a few surprises. We will be posting these out next week as well.
 
If you are thinking of subscribing to The Stitcher’s Journal and want to try a copy, you can pre-order Issue 27. As with all the Journals, I only print for subscribers plus a few extras.  Issue 27 has two inserts with Christmas embroidery ideas and patterns.

We will be posting by Tracked 24 hour post (UK only) up to 4pm on Friday, 19th December, and we aim to post out on the day of ordering. 
 
Thank you so much as ever for your support. 
 
With very best wishes,

Caroline
