The Horse and Rider
£80.00
At one time the Horse has the plain entirely to himself. Then a Stag intruded on his domain and shared his pasture.
The Horse, desiring revenge, asked a man if he were willing to help. The man consented on the condition the Horse received a bit in his mouth and agree to carry him.
With the aid of the man, the Horse soon overcame the Stag. However, when the Horse asked the man to remove the bit in his mouth and the saddle, the man responded:
"Not so fast, friend. I have now got you under bit and spur. I prefer to keep you as you are"
Advantages may be dearly bought.

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.
