Hello fellow makers and art enthusiasts!
Today, Iâm absolutely thrilled to share a very special project that has blossomed in The Craft Room: “The Star Flower and the Snail” Crewelwork Embroidery Kit! This whimsical design, inspired by classic Jacobean motifs, is now ready for you to bring to life.
đ Introducing “The Star Flower and the Snail”
If you’ve been following my journey, you know I pour my heart into every stitch. This design is no exception, but it holds a unique charm. It’s an intermediate-level crewelwork project that allows you to explore rich textures and dimension, pairing a stylized star flower with a delightful garden snail. The finished A4-sized piece is a true conversation starter, blending historical elegance with a touch of playful nature.
Whether you’re looking to challenge your skills or simply immerse yourself in a truly rewarding hand-stitching experience, “The Star Flower and the Snail” is designed to inspire.

đŹ See It Come to Life: The Timelapse!
Ever wondered what goes into creating an intricate embroidery piece? To celebrate the launch of “The Star Flower and the Snail” kit, I’ve created a special timelapse video documenting the entire stitching process. It’s a fantastic way to visualize how the design builds stitch by stitch, from the initial transferred lines to the final textured details.
Trust me, thereâs something incredibly satisfying about watching hours of work unfold in just a few minutes!
đ Journey into Extreme Embroidery: The Kingfisher Saga
Speaking of hours of work… if you enjoyed the timelapse, you simply must see my most monumental embroidery project to date: the Kingfisher Embroidery.
This colossal piece wasn’t just a project; it was an obsession! It took me a staggering 936 hours and over 170,000 individual stitches to complete. It was a true test of patience, skill, and passion, and documenting the journey was almost as epic as the stitching itself. While it’s not a kit (yet!), watching its creation offers a unique insight into what’s possible with needle and thread.
It’s a testament to the power of slow art and dedication, and I love sharing the story behind it.
