Simply the best

I have leafed through my Elizabeth Bradley books for years, admiring the photographs. Visiting the website is a treat—such beautiful designs. I recently decided that 2024 would be the year that I actually STITCHED an Elizabeth Bradley Design! Because this is a new technique for me I decided to start with the Iris starter kit. When the kit arrived I was immediately impressed with the care and presentation that I found in my package. Everything is absolutely presented beautifully, and the quality of the materials—what can I say? Second to none! This is my first Elizabeth Bradley kit, but it won’t be my last!

back to fibers…

I thought to myself a while ago that it would be nice to resume working with the fiber arts again. So, I spun the needle and it landed on counted cross-stitch. And since I have a lovely E.B. book on my shelf I came here for a kit. I chose a lovely litlle Iris Starter Kit. I literally has everything you need to get back into the flow of stitchery—I couldn't be happier!

So enjoyable

I love this small piece! My husband was in the hospital for several days. This is small enough to carry in my purse and it gave me peace and comfort to be able to do my needlepoint during those long hours. I love the beautiful colors and design. Thank you for being there for me. I love Elizabeth Bradley products!!!

Iris starter kit

Although I am not a beginner I ordered the iris starter kit as a little girl in the neighbor is named iris and I am giving the finished product to her. The kit arrived 3 days after I ordered it and the kit was most generous with the yarns needed. I also ordered a needle threaded and it proved to me so helpful. I’ve stitched other EB kits and they are always wonderful. And the price is do seasonable. Thank you

Easy stitch.

This starter kit is an easy way to learn Victorian Cross Stitch. You get into an easy, fluid rhythm of stitching and before you know it it's done. I really like these starter kits and highly recommend them if you are new to Elizabeth Bradley and VCS.

Super Gift to Myself

I am very excited to return to the basics of needlepoint and this kit is perfect.
I am elderly with stiff fingers and the size of the canvas plus the design helps me in everyday to enjoy a skill I was afraid I was losing. I have ordered several more kits like this with the idea of maybe joining them in someway. Yes, 5 stars and more if it were possible.
