'Bloom' is the August embroidery club from Wimperis Embroidery and I really enjoyed completing this design. Check out #WEStitchKit on Instagram for more pictures!
The kit was so beautifully presented with everything you need to complete the design (including comprehensive stitch guide) and more.
Full skeins of DMC stranded embroidery thread means you can start building (or add to) your stash of threads for other projects.
There's even a cute needle threader included with 2 needles (handy if, like me, you lose one very quickly!).
I started the project on Wednesday afternoon and had a lovely few zen hours making woven wheel roses and stitching the herringbone stitch leaves.
It was only when I went to pack up for the evening that I realised a needle minder would be handy, so I pulled this one out that I purchased from Crafty Cat Knitty Bits. Ironically, in that time, I seem to have misplaced the needle I was using and I haven't found it yet!
On Thursday evening, I made really good progress and added in the daisies and a few other details.
The lazy daisy stitch in this perfect shade of cream makes for beautiful daisies, don't you think?
Friday was my wedding anniversary and we had a dinner date planned so I left the final touches to Saturday morning to finish. I'm really in love with this beautiful design. The colour palette is just perfect!
