I am rather new to ribbon embroidery and it had good instructions, and I appreciated that all the needles were included and labels and each stitch gave directions on which needle and which ribbon to use. It was very good for a beginner! If you want to get a kit yourself, Lorna has an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/shop\/LornaBatemanOfficial\">etsy shop<\/a>. She is also releasing her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Embroidered-Country-Gardens-beautiful-hand-stitched\/dp\/1782215786\">first book<\/a> soon-I can&#8217;t wait to get it because now I feel more confident to assemble the materials myself and try another of her beautiful designs!<\/p>\n<p>My other finish is, you guessed it, Just Nan&#8217;s Hedgie Hedgehog! Here he is with his pins and leaf!<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1935\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/img_9791.jpg?resize=640%2C480&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/img_9791.jpg?w=1500&amp;ssl=1 1500w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/img_9791.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/img_9791.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/img_9791.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/img_9791.jpg?resize=400%2C300&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/img_9791.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n\n\n<p>I stationed him in my shadow box after all, next to Mr. Nutley Owl.
