Mrs Kranz Has Pulled Out the Old Needle and Thread Again
I beloved little things! And picayune embroidery kits are wonderful to have in i's stash, because they brand the perfect "quick prepare" when you want to work on something – only not something big!
Today'south give-away includes piddling kits, plus some miscellaneous goodies, all contributed past The French Needle. I've divided the collections into ii packages, and then for today'south give-away, there volition be ii winners, each receiving i of the packages.
Ane packet of goodies volition contain a re-create of Mains & Merveilles Mag, which contains a slap-up collection of embroidery patterns and projects. Though the magazine is written in French, it is filled with pictures and diagrams that can be easily read past anyone. You can run into some samples of this magazine here in this review I wrote quite a while agone. This particular edition included in the give-away is not the aforementioned edition equally the ones I reviewed, but information technology is similar in ready-upwardly and content.
In addition to the magazine, you'll find two already stitched little pin-keep pillows, ane in red and one in bluish, with a fleur de lis stitched on them.
There are 2 small kits in the bundle likewise. These kits are produced by Rouge du Rhin – they contain the pre-printed textile, all the threads and silk ribbons necessary to consummate the lilliputian floral wreath design, needles, and instructions. In cases where the instructions are in French, there are diagrams that clarify. These are fun little quick kits that would piece of work up well into your own pin cushions, box tops, or what-accept-you. They're groovy for beginners!
Each bundle also includes two wooden thread keeps. These are tools y'all use to keep your threads separate, by stringing them through the drilled holes along the edge of the bird. They're pretty cute! (They remind me of The Partridge Family, for some reason. Did I just date myself?)
The second collection of goodies may seem a bit unbalanced, with five kits (two of each style in the above package, plus one "Apr" eye kit), but when you lot consider the Mains & Merveilles magazine and all the wonderful projects and transfers available in there, I thought this was a good balance! Besides 2 each of the modest Rouge du Rhin kits described higher up (y'all could make a whole matching fix of pin cushions! Or all-time yet, you lot could sew 1 or ii with a friend!), the winner volition receive this colorful petty April heart kit.
This is a sweet fiddling kit, again suitable for beginners, with plenty of color, flowers, a butterfly – very springy!
The second package also includes the little pivot cushion pillows and the wooden bird thread keeps.
