Dolhan Ambitious Beginner Gnomework Embroidery Kit

We're so pleased to present this fabulous line of embroidery kits from designer Laurie Dolhan of Nova Scotia.

Designed for the beginning embroidery enthusiast, this line of kits has a variety of levels; from beginner to ambitious beginner!

A perfect series for those wanting to learn basic embroidery and have a lovely finish quickly; show them off one at a time, or stitch and create a garland for any room.

Don't be fooled by the name "Gnomework", this friendly, forest dwelling fellow is all play. Surrounded by modern, abstract mushrooms, he's right at home in a poplar forest. The gnome and woodland scene is made using a series of beginner embroidery stitches, including a backstitch (he's mostly backstitch...easy peasy), detached chain (link) for his beard, satin stitch, and two French knots for eyes. BTW The satin stitch is edged with a backstitch because it looks great AND hides any imperfections so you always look like a pro. It's like magic! Your friends and family will undoubtedly be very impressed by your finished creation. Be prepared for adulation - and possibly a little envy too. (You deserve it!)
