RSN Exclusive: Silk Shaded Daisy Embroidery Kit by Helen Stevens

This pretty embroidery kit was created by RSN Senior Studio Embroiderer and Tutor Helen Stevens to celebrate the Overlord Embroidery which was made by the Royal School of Needlework from 1968 to 1974. The embroidery tells the story of D Day and the Battle of Normandy in 34 extraordinary hand-stitched panels with a total length of 83 metres.

Symbolising new beginnings, the simple daisy design is worked mainly in long and short stitch using 5 shades of coloured threads, blending the shades together to create the classic 3D appearance of painting with a needle.

This kit is suitable for those new to the technique and for more experienced
