This is a new take on my popular design 'Stellar Sunflower" It now contains an extra large pure heavyweight linen fabric panel measuring 48 x 48cm.
The linen fabric is a natural beige/grey colour and is in excess of 340gsm, making it beautiful to stitch onto, and perfect for making cushions or bags with.
Stellar Sunflower has also undergone a slight update on wool colours as it now has a grey brown in place of the darker brown that previously featured. The new take on this ever popular design will match and enhance any interior colour scheme, as the neutral shades combined with blue lend a classical feel to this design.
The kit is suitable for beginners and advanced stitchers alike, and this design is great for learning stitches as it is double sided, learn the stitches on one side, and then practice them some more on the other side.
Containing pure wool threads in Pure British Wool, the light weight 4 ply wool is an absolute joy to stitch with as it's squidgy enough to hide imperfections, but it still has a form to it that creates very neat stitches with minimum effort. In terms of thickness, the wool is a fine 4 ply with the thickness of 2 ply.
Suitable for all levels of stitchers including beginners as full instructions, a stitch guide, and video stitch tutorials are all included.
Included in the kit:
- Pure heavyweight linen fabric panel, 48 x 48cm.
- Pure British Wool threads, cut into ready to stitch lengths and stored on a macrame ring.
- John James Chenille embroidery needle.
- Full colour printed instruction booklet with a stitch guide.
- Printed to size A4 embroidery pattern template.
- Carbon tracing paper for tracing your design
- Video stitch tutorials at my website.
- Free delivery in the UK.

If you are creating a cushion then all you will need is the stuffing, and a pair of scissors to cut the thread. Instructions are provided as to how I made a hand sewn cushion.
