The Lion In Love
£80.00
A Lion fell in love with a beautiful maiden and proposed marriage. The maiden’s parents did not know what to say. They did not want to give their daughter to the Lion, yet they did not wish to enrage the King of Beasts.
At last the father said:
“We feel highly honored by your Majesty’s proposal, but our daughter is a tender young girl, and we fear that in the heat of love you might possibly do her injury. Might I venture to suggest that your Majesty should have your claws removed, and your teeth extracted; then we would consider your proposal again.”
The Lion was so much in love that he had his claws trimmed and his big teeth taken out.
But, when he again came to the parents of the young girl they simply laughed at him.
Love tames the wildest.
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.
