Exciting news! A project I LOVED making, the beautiful Campanula & Butterflies out now in Inspirations #123.  Don’t miss out on this stunning kit!

An ideal opportunity to create and spend a few hours with a dear friend or newcomer to embroidery as the kit contains everything necessary except for scissors and hoops!

In this project, you will learn how to create interesting three-dimensional effects with embroidery. You will learn how to make stumpwork butterflies and leaves using a needle painting technique. We show you how to make delicate, twirled Campanula stems and leaves and how to form lifelike flowers with silk ribbon. 

Size of design is 19.5 x 14.5 cm (7.67 x 5.7 inches)
