A Bucket of Foxgloves: a favourite hand-embroidery design by Caroline Zoob

What's in the kit?

  • A unique hand embroidery design featuring my favourite foxgloves, suitable for all levels of ability.
  • A generous piece of antique French linen, hand-printed with the design.
  • A full-colour, six-panel card folder printed with clear and comprehensive instructions and useful and inspiring illustrations.

Additional Information

At an antiques fair, an exhibitor brought two enormous French zinc buckets into which she had planted the tallest, most glamorous foxgloves. They are the inspiration for this embroidery, for which I have chosen some beautiful variegated threads.  The kit is contained within a pretty card folder, printed with the full colour design together with illustrated instructions. Dotted among these are some other ideas you could embroider and a few facts about foxgloves.

The finished design is roughly 15cm square.

Suitable for all levels.  If you are a complete beginner, you might want to look at My Favourite Stitches, which you may download free of charge from the Free Downloads section of The Shop.

To complete the kit you will need a 7″ or 8″ embroidery hoop, a selection of embroidery needles (sizes 8 – 10, depending on how comfortable you feel working with smaller needles; remember, the higher the number, the smaller the needle!) and a pair of small, sharp embroidery scissors.

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
