Crewel Embroidery Kit

The embroidery design measures 30cm (12") square.

Reflections is inspired by the work of William Morris and his daughter May Morris. The design is stitched using a colour palette of shaded iron greys and golden yellow to achieve a traditional, yet contemporary appearance.

The embroidery is stitched using Appletons crewel wool onto light taupe linen twill, using 24 different stitches and stitch combinations to create different textures and patterns within the design.

The embroidery kit includes everything you need to complete the embroidery.

PLEASE NOTE: The kit does not include materials to make the pillow shown. You can choose to add the Thread pack & Instructions for the Braided Cord Trim on the pillow when ordering your kit.

** Intermediate **

Reflections is suitable for embroiders with some experience. This is an ideal project if you are familiar with crewel work and are looking to further develop your skills.

The design for Reflections is strongly inspired by the work of William Morris and his daughter May Morris – which I greatly admire. I can always find inspiration in the swirling, organic shapes and patterns used by Morris in both textile and wall paper designs.

The shape and size of the panel is perfect for a square pillow, which is what I did with mine. It would look equally stunning framed or make a fabulous large work bag.
