The insouciant beauty of poppies is nothing if not uplifting! Our Poppy Garden Embroidery Kit taps into the wild whimsy of these wonderful flowers with two totally different Samplers, each based on the same beautiful design.

The Appliqué Sampler (above) captures the rambunctiousness of poppies with colorful wool felt blooms and embroidered details. Like a handful of freshly picked poppies thrown into the breeze, this version is full of energy and merriment!

The Embroidery Sampler (above) uses basic embroidery stitches in exquisite detail to convey the paper-thin delicacy of poppies. In ecru floss on a rich coral linen background, this version uses traditional embroidery techniques to create a thoroughly modern work of art.

It’s a fascinating study to use the same transfer design to make two entirely different pieces. And although they are so different, they’re really happy hanging out together, each enriching the other.

Our Poppy Garden Embroidery Kit includes all the materials and instructions you’ll need to make both Samplers and to dive deep into some of embroidery’s loveliest techniques. You may be surprised by the beauty your own hands create!
