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.

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.

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
