Tea Time
Immerse yourself in the historic charm of Sir Edward Heath's house, Arundells, while creating an exquisite embroidery piece inspired by the oriental tea pot design on an upholstered chair from the collection. This kit offers a unique opportunity to blend artistic expression with a touch of history, perfect for all skill levels from beginners to advanced stitchers.
My design, printed on high-quality cotton, showcases an intricate teapot motif. Using a selection of Perle and Stranded cotton threads, you will explore various stitches, including buttonhole, stem, chain, padded satin, and French knots. These stitches will help bring the teapot to life, highlighting its delicate details and elegant contours.
With detailed instructions, you will be guided on how to work each stitch to achieve precision and finesse in your work. Whether you are new to embroidery or looking to refine your skills.
