Anyone remember paint by numbers kits?
I used to love them.
I was reminded of them when I came across these embroidery kits by Nancy Nicholson.
The kits are sort of a stitchy version of paint by numbers, including fabric printed with the patterns and all materials required to produce lovely embroideries.
I think they’d be great for beginners, or for a keen and crafty older child to tackle. As easy as one, two, three.
But with rather nicer results. ♥
Much nicer results, and ones I wouldn’t feel slightly awkward about hanging proudly on my wall afterwards, unlike some of the paint-by-numbers jobs….
It’s funny, I used to hate the results of paint by numbers, although I enjoyed doing them. But when I see the completed ones now I love them!
Best thing since sliced bread!!
Thanks for your post on the kits! only just found your lovely blog
You’re welcome – I meant to email you but it slipped off my to do list! (I did tag you on twitter though).

Hi Susan, there is a link to Nancy’s site where her name is highlighted in the blog post. You can buy her kits there.

Lovely embroidery kits. Your mention of painting by numbers has brought back some good memories. With all the time spent indoors at the moment, it would be a good opportunity to tackle such projects.
Indeed it would Vanessa!
