The Gingerbread Bird House

  • A generous piece of antique French linen hand-printed and painted with the design, with enough spare to use if you wanted to make a decoration or cover a small notebook.
  • A pretty thread card filled with all the threads you will need to complete the kit.
  • A six-panel folded card printed with all the instructions, an actual-size drawing of the design and illustrations. A very simple stitch, and a lovely Christmas present to give to a friend who likes or wants to learn to stitch.

Additional Information

An original design featuring a gingerbread bird house inhabited by a pair of white doves. A lovely kit for a beginner.

A very simple stitch, and a lovely Christmas present to give to a friend who likes or wants to learn to stitch. You can either frame the completed embroidery in a vintage wooden frame and prop it on the mantelpiece at Christmas, or you could make a little slip cover for a notebook in which you keep Christmas lists and notes or recipes, as a customer has done (see below).

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
