Elegant Emperor !

This kit is absolutely gorgeous! The colours are so good and as always with EB, the charting is accurate. I have been looking at this stunning design for ages and when the grand sale was on, I just couldn't resist. Everything in the kit is such high quality, the wool, the canvas, the chart and instructions, it's all perfect. Thank you EB for constantly tempting us!

Another project to look forward to!

As I am currently struggling with the intricacies of the Morning Glory Trellis canvas, the prospect of eventually being able to move onto the Emperor with its brilliant colours and nice balance between background and detail stitching has definitely encouraged me to try to maintain some momentum with Morning Glory - I am sure the finished article will be lovely but am looking forward to the Emperor, which will be more my style of stitching - must confess to liking the relaxation of a stretch of background, amidst the complex detail!

A beautiful design!

I am so enjoying stitching this lovely bird with the quality supplies in every Elizabeth Bradley kit!

Beautiful representation of the "Emperor"

The canvas, the color chart and codes for each color make it a pleaser to stitch.

The colours of this design are glorious. Much better than they appear on my computer.
The quality of the printed canvas is so good that I can work without referring to the chart constantly which allows faster and more enjoyable stitching.
The kit is excellent quality and was delivered promptly.
Thank you Elizabeth Bradley. I thoroughly enjoy stitching your kits.

Delighted

I have just finished Rosella which is beautiful and have only just started on Emperor.
I love the packaging and have to steel myself to undo the beautiful presentation of the wools etc.,
The printing of the design is so accurate.
I hope in the future I can complete all four birds.
Thank you, I get a great deal of enjoyment out of sewing the tapestries.

I bought The Emperor together with Rosella. They are both beautiful, the printing on the canvas is spot-on, the wool is soft and easy to use as is the canvas. The new packaging will be most useful for storing charts. EB just shouts quality. Can't wait to buy the Macaw and the Toucan. Thank you EB team.

Canvas and yarn beautiful. The shading of the yarn is fantastic, but I had to go up a needle size.. The needle in the kit was difficult to thread but otherwise a beautiful kit

Tropical birds

I bought three of the tropical birds. Haven’t started them yet but I keep looking at them, they are wonderful birds and the colours are stunning. Thank you. Not sure who designs all Elizabeth Bradley tapestries but they are doing an excellent job. I like the new boxes. As always my new tapestries were extremely well packed and arrived in perfect order. Thank you. K
