Four Seasons
Classic Embroidery Kit
The embroidery design measures 22cm x 43cm wide (8 3/4” x 17”).
Four Seasons is worked onto sturdy Italan linen using 12 different hues of Danish flower thread for the leaves. The grapes, vines and birds are stitched in stranded silk and cotton with silver metal threads, small paillettes, and beads adding highlights and texture to the borders.
The embroidery kit includes everything you need to complete the embroidery.
You can choose between the Standard Kit with a full size pattern for you to transfer OR the Traced Kit where I will trace the design onto the linen for you.

I recommend Four Seasons for embroiders with some experience in fine embroidery and basic knowledge of metal thread embroidery.
Four Seasons takes inspiration from the many years I lived in our vineyard, watching the ever-changing beauty of the seasons; Spring brings tender and delicate growth, while summer boasts a dense canopy of leaves. Autumn is a vibrant explosion of colors, and winter reveals sparse, sculptural branches after trimming.
The colour of tthe leaves are graded through the Four Seasons. Amongst the vines are two playful cockatoos and a curious magpie. The grapes are embroidered using silk thread in French knots, while the three birds are stitched in stranded cotton. The lower border is decorated with slender scrolls and stylized grapes, complemented by a silver border. The borders are embellished with silver metal threads, small paillettes, and beads to add highlights and texture.
