I really love “Burghley House”. The color is wonderful and really great design. I plan to order another one when I finish this one.
I wrapped my inner hoop right away, and I'll be using these beauties in rotation. I needed the extra sizes!
Wonderfully done! Loved the needle work and the castle history.
I purchased this kit because the design and colors are gorgeous! It’s even more beautiful in real life than in the extremely well done photographs. While crewel is not my favorite type of embroidery because it can be difficult to bring the threads through the base cloth, I am really looking forward to working on this piece…as soon as I finish my grandson’s Christmas stocking, which is crewel as well.
I'm loving this piece of crewel embroidery. I chose it because it has so many stitches that I have not done. I also purchased the Rowan Tree Kit video class and have enjoyed learning from Phillipa's excellent instruction. I'm also enjoying the larger size of the piece. Thank you so much!
The kit arrived on a timely basis. All parts and pieces and instructions included.
Fabric and threads are beautiful.
The kit is beautiful completed and I truly enjoyed working on it.
Unfortunately, my order arrived to the Richmond,CA distribution center and was separated from address label, I believe it was stolen, so no I don’t have and can’t comment, my terrible loss 😒
I was unable to log on and watch!!
I am very disappointed as I bought the kit because of the tutorial!!
It’s a lovely book and will make a thoughtful gift
The instruction booklet in the kit is necessarily brief and probably sufficient for stitchers experienced with goldwork and silk embroidery, For those not so experienced, I strongly recommend the online course. Zina goes step by step through the entire project. Next best thing to having her with you. My only criticism is more close ups of her stitching would be better. Occasionally the camera backs off just when I wanted a closer look. Not a big problem. Overall, 5 stars.
If you enjoy very large expansive embroidery look no further. The Georgian Bouquet ticks all the boxes then some. First class materials and crystal clear instructions.
I enjoyed the video especially learning about the history of the castle and its family. I was rather disappointed in the Study of Needkework. There wasn’t enough close up shots or discussion of the threads and stitches. I felt there wasn’t enough examples of all the various forms of needlework in the castle. From a family/castle point of view it was good but I felt from a needlework point of view it wasn’t up to the calibre that I was expecting. The camera panned too quickly over pieces and not enough true close ups. Therefore I felt a 3 or 4 was the highest I could rate it.
This item arrived in a very timely fashion and was parcelled beautifully. The box contents were b wonderfully presented and a brief read through the stitching guide proved it to be comprehensive - I just can’t wait to make a start, thank you to the team
I was delighted when this was released as it will match my Muncaster Oranges kit. I don’t think I am brave enough to attempt the very large bed hanging so this is perfect.. Thank you CWC!
These are my "go to", favorite scissors. Comfortable in my hand, got a second pair to keep in my travel sewing pouch. Highly recommend them!
I loved the Crewel World beginner embroidery kits! The designs are beautiful and the instructions are very clear. I have embroidered before but I am new to crewel work. Clearly whoever makes these kits does so lovingly and with much knowledge of the craft.
Makes embroidery a lot easier having both hands free. Good quality too. Thank you!
The kit is wonderful, lovely materials and colors. However, unless you are a silk & goldwork veteran I advise you to buy the online course with the kit. It's worth every penny to stitch along with Zina. She explains every step - even when things go a bit wrong. The written instructions are good, but necessarily brief.
This was the perfect kit for a beginner or a refresher for someone coming back to crewel. The instructions were perfect and having a full skeins of wool eased that worry
