The Fables

The Fox and The Crane

$113.00


A Fox one day invited a Stork to dine with him, and, wishing to be amused at his expense, put the soup which he had for dinner in a large flat dish, so that, while he himself could lap it up quite well, the Stork could only dip in the tips of his long bill.

Some time after, the Stork, bearing his treatment in mind, invited the Fox to take dinner with him.

He, in his turn, put some minced meat in a long and narrow-necked vessel, into which he could easily put his bill, while Master Fox was forced to be content with licking what ran down the sides of the vessel.

The Fox then remembered his old trick, and could not but admit that the Stork had well paid him out.

Trickster expect trickery in return.

This kit is from The Fables range.

  • About the range

    These finely crafted kits give you everything you need to stitch timeless tales. Their striking, storytelling designs were inspired by Aesop’s fables, with each kit depicting a different tale and a different moral.


    The kits use just three core stitches: satin stitch, split stitch and chain stitch, and take around 20 hours to stitch. We have a video guide accompanying each kit 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.

  • Framing your embroidery

    Our framing shop

    We believe framing is absolutely integral to any piece of art. A frame can make or break a finished piece, so as much consideration should be given to the frame as the artwork in it. Our signature decorative frames are all hand-painted in our London studio and designed to perfectly complement our embroidery kits.

    We are passionate about getting everyone making and feeling creative, so with that in mind, we also have a curated range of materials to enable you paint your own frames. Alongside our virtual decorative painting course, these materials are a really fun way to experiment and create pieces totally unique to you.
