Sherry Iris Embroidery Nature Journal Kit
'Observed in nature - held in thread...'
Number Three...
Goldfinch & Chamomile
***
Welcome to our embroidery nature journalling kits - we couldn't be more excited by these kits.
Nature and embroidery are at the heart of who I am. Increasingly, I find that being in nature is good for me in so many ways. It calms and yet energises at the same time. My mind is soothed and I am inspired. I can feel my place in the world.
Being more aware of seasonal changes, observing nature, and preserving it in stitch is something I have done for many years.
A stitched nature journal is like a gentle, slow archive of changing nature around us. The cycle of the seasons can root us and help us through the stresses of our daily lives.

These Embroidery Nature Journal kits are intended to be a guide for you if you wish to begin your own embroidered nature journal.
The third box includes four beautiful hand dyed silk threads and three little embroidery patterns very accessible for the beginner but equally an enjoyable stitch for the more practised stitcher.
Goldfinches are little marvels - acrobats and entertainers.
I could watch them forever - there's a reason they are called a charm of goldfinches!
I love dahlias and I am loving growing them this year.
The chamomile plant is a delicate and fragrant addition to any garden and I have several of this flower embroidered and displayed in my house.
These embroideries are a perfect addition to a nature journal.
I like to embellish my embroideries, adding poetry quotes or words of my own, thereby combining my nature journal with the idea of a commonplace book. Where a journal is our own discoveries in nature and our own thoughts, a commonplace book is rather a collection of words or ideas from other people who we are inspired by. So for me, adding text to my embroideries along with fabrics and laces is the perfect combination.
In the box will be a couple of little extras to make your nature journalling fun.
The patterns measure approximately... Goldfinch - 10cm x 9cm, Dahlias 8cm x 8cm, and Chamomile 10cm x 12cm.
