When I was 7 years old, on an impulse I picked out a small embroidery kit from a local craft store. It depicted  a white goose wearing an oversize ribbon… You know the one. I loved stitching up that little goose, and I love that it spawned a lifelong passion in needlecrafts.

All these many years later, I am so excited to share Purl Soho’s Learn to Embroider a Sampler Kit. It’s the same basic idea as the kit I purchased as a kid, but just like me, it’s all grown up.

Our Learn to Embroider a Sampler Kit includes a 24-page, full-color instructional booklet that teaches you all of embroidery’s basics, plus how to create over a dozen decorative stitches and the beautiful Sampler you see here. It also includes fabric, needles, an embroidery hoop, 12 skeins of embroidery floss, and even a dowel for displaying your finished Sampler.
