Hand embroider your very Norfolk dialect! This folk art inspired design features bright flowers, mushrooms and text in 10 vibrant colours.
This embroidery is a collab with the wonderful Beau Brannick who you should check out if you haven't already! It's based on a sign in North Norfolk (see photos) and Beau has done an amazing job of illustrating a design for me inspired by my home county.
‘Slow You Down’ is a phrase I’ve heard all my life living in Norfolk - it’s a local saying usually seen on road signs or hollered when you’re running too fast as a kid but I think it’s a great message for life. It’s so important to take time out for slow, mindful living and activities. Embroidery really provides a slower pace for me when my brain is racing so this seemed really fitting ♥️
This kit is a great way to learn hand embroidery or brush up on your skills. It includes everything you need to recreate this design and will teach you 7 different embroidery stitches in 10 colours.
The finished design measures 6 inches.

Slow You Down Embroidery Kit
You can now choose between ordering the full embroidery kit, the fabric panel only (this has the design printed on it ready to stitch over), or the fabric panel and a printed embroidery guide that will tell you what embroidery stitches and colours make up the design as it's seen in my photos.
