Additional Information
This is a re-issue of a 2020 Stitcher’s Journal Collection hand embroidery kit. It is one of my very favourite kits to stitch and is inspired by lines in Robert Browning’s famous poem, Home Thoughts From Abroad.
‘…And after April, when May follows,
And the whitethroat builds, and all the swallows!
Hark, where my blossomed pear-tree in the hedge
Leans to the field and scatters on the clover
Blossoms and dewdrops—at the bent spray’s edge—
That’s the wise thrush; he sings each song twice over,
Lest you should think he never could recapture
The first fine careless rapture!…’
This kit is actually quite simple to stitch, it just takes some time. The finished size is a little larger than A5, and looks beautiful framed.
