Hand embroider your very Norfolk dialect! This folk art inspired design features bright flowers, mushrooms and text in 10 vibrant colours.
This embroidery is a collab with the wonderful Beau Brannick who you should check out if you haven't already! It's based on a sign in North Norfolk (see photos) and Beau has done an amazing job of illustrating a design for me inspired by my home county.
‘Slow You Down’ is a phrase I’ve heard all my life living in Norfolk - it’s a local saying usually seen on road signs or hollered when you’re running too fast as a kid but I think it’s a great message for life. It’s so important to take time out for slow, mindful living and activities. Embroidery really provides a slower pace for me when my brain is racing so this seemed really fitting ♥️
This kit is a great way to learn hand embroidery or brush up on your skills. It includes everything you need to recreate this design and will teach you 7 different embroidery stitches in 10 colours.
The finished design measures 6 inches.
