    About the range

    Samplers are a way of celebrating new life, new love, new homes - immortalising major life events in thread. Whilst there are so many beautiful reproduction Victorian samplers out there, I wanted to reimagine the concept to create something new.

  • What's included in an embroidery kit?

    Everything you need to start stitching

    The kit includes a detailed booklet with a full alphabet, numbers and squared grids to show you how to adjust the sampler for you own special event. The design is not printed on the fabric as the natural aida forms the background of the image. We mark out your starting point by hand on each to make sure you can easily get going.

  • Framing your embroidery

    Our Framing Shop

    We want you to proudly frame your finished kits and display them in your home! That’s why every kit comes with the option to add a frame. We highly recommend trying your hand at painting your own frame—it’s super simple, quick, and incredibly satisfying. But if painting isn’t your thing, don’t worry! We also offer hand-painted frames that are designed to perfectly complement each kit.

  • Our how-to video guides

    HOW-TO GUIDE

    When we send a kit to you, that's just the first part of your embroidery journey. Don't worry - you aren't going to be abandoned to work out how to make it! We have a video guide, which will show you the key stitching stages, so if you are picking up a needle for the first time, we will guide you the whole time. We never get questions about how to do our kits and believe that is the best sign for how easy they are to complete!
