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 size is a little larger than A5, and looks beautiful framed.

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
