Lighthouse Embroidery DIY Kit
$34.95
There is something mesmerizing about a lighthouse highlighted against the sea and sky. The rocky coastline of Nova Scotia is dotted with these traditional beacons of both light and warning —at once they say “welcome home” and “watch for rocks”. Either way, they are classic seaside protectors. Except for the tiny little flag, this pattern is made entirely of the easiest single stitch and backstitch. And you know, that blue backstitch around the outside of the satin stitch looks great and hides any imperfections, so you look like a pro no matter what!
Your friends and family will undoubtedly be very impressed by your finished creation. Be prepared for adulation - and possibly a little envy too. (You deserve it!)
