This design is an adaptation of a design originally available from the Richardson Silk Company from around 1910. I was commissioned to stitch one of the original kits; I loved the design so much that I worked on an adaptation of the design and now have it available complete and as a kit.The pillow is worked entirely in hand dyed silk thread using the satin stitch, stem stitch, couching stitch and Long and Short stitch. The kit includes natural linen with marked design, Treenway silk threads, chenille needle and written and illustrated instructions for working the design in full embroidery.
