A hungry Crow, flying about in quest of his prey, saw a Snake basking himself upon the side of a sunny bank.
Down he soused upon him, and seized him with his horny beak, in order to devour him.
But the Snake, writhing to and fro with the pain, bit the Crow again with his venomous teeth, to such a degree, that he could not survive it.
The Crow, in the agonies of death, is said to have confessed that this judgment happened to him justly; since he had attempted to satisfy his craving appetite at the expence of another’s welfare.
“Nature has made all the necessaries of life, safe and easier to us, but if we will be hankering after things that we neither want nor understand, we must take our fortune.”
Desire things you don’t understand and you accept the consequences.
This kit is suitable for beginners.
You will use three core embroidery stitches: straight stitch, chain stitch and running stitch.
All you need is a pair of scissors, everything else is included in the box:
- The design printed on cotton twill
- A detailed guide on the embroidery stitches
- An easy to follow colour coded stitching plan
- All the thread you need on colour coded bobbins
- Several needles
- A tote bag to enable you to easily transport your kit
The finished design will measure approx 7" x 10" (18 cm x 27 cm) and fit in an A4 frame. We expect it'll take 1 months to stitch (depending on how addicted you get to sewing of course!). We recommend stretching and mounting the finished piece prior to framing.
We have created a video guiding you through all the key stitching areas to accompany The Crow and The Snake kit. You will find guides on each type of stitch used in the how to guides
