A Blackbird in the Roses Embroidery Box
A Celebration in Stitch
*
He comes on chosen evenings,
My blackbird bountiful, and sings
Over the garden of the town
Just at the hour the sun goes down.
Blackbird, John Drinkwater

Following on from the success of our first two Celebration in Stitch boxes, we have picked another of our favourite birds to study.
Blackbird - turdus merula
The much loved blackbird with his glorious song is a wonderful choice for this latest Celebration in Stitch Box.
Rose! Thou art the sweetest flower,
That ever drank the amber shower
Thomas Moore
I often find our garden blackbird under our roses scrambling around under leaves.

Chris and I love to spend time in nature and to document what we see in paint and stitch. Our aim is to spread the joy of being in nature.
- The box will contain two new patterns created by Chris for you to embroider in our pure silk hand dyed threads
- The first pattern will be a blackbird in our botanical style.
- The second pattern will be roses in a wreath with a blackbird nestled there.
- Six pure silk hand dyed threads.
- The pure linen is a neutral colour.
- There will be the option to add on a box pouch made by Sherry. The fabric will be a surprise for you.
Everything will be beautifully presented for you xx
This is the third of our Celebration in Stitch boxes where we examine beautiful flora and fauna and we couldn't be more excited! We have many more already planned and can't wait to share them with you over the coming months...
As with all of our patterns, we do not provide a detailed stitch description, rather providing you with a framework to create a wonderful individual piece of embroidery work.
*Please note - the image is for illustration purposes only - the contents of the box are a surprise for you!*
Observed in Nature. Held in Stitch.
