Embrace the mindful hobby of embroidery with a coordinated bundle of 3 all-in-one kits. 

The Naturalist is a trio of nature-inspired designs. You'll use a dozen classic hand embroidery stitches and focused color pallettes to render moths, mushrooms, and birds.

Quality materials include: patterns color-printed to cotton fabric, full skeins of DMC-brand floss, hoops, and needles. You also get handy extras: a hinged storage tin and an enamel needle minder with each of the 3 kits.

Experienced needle crafters enjoy working a range of stitches, while those new to embroidery use the illustrated project guide to master a comfort craft suited to all generations.

KITS IN THIS BUNDLE

Moths

Stitch a collection of colorful Moths. Each one is filled with engaging stitch combinations for rendering their markings and shapes. You'll embroider radiating narrow lines and wavy bands, nested circles, knot-filled bodies and narrow antennae. The finished project is beautiful for display and gifting. It's a project that celebrates the pattern and color in nature.

Mushrooms

Mushrooms have a mystical symbolism while also connecting us to a simpler, foraging past. This embroidered take on mushrooms has you stitching blackwork-inspired fills. Progressively detailed geometric pattern are engaging to stitch and create an eye-catching shaded effect. Fill fungi on a tree with green burtsts and French-knot-filled rings. Finish the design with a quote from philosopher Thomas Carlyle: Nature alone is antique; the oldest art a mushroom.

Small Birds

Embroider a trio of small birds with chunky chain stitches. The birds are rich and textured against outline-stitched trees and birdhouse. Because birds are able to move from ground to sky, we sometimes think of them as connecting earth and heavens. The result is a compelling project to stitch and display.
