The kit includes the pattern, detailed instructions and the materials and threads for working the design. The background fabric is deep purple velvet. The 'Suffolk puff' pink and purple organza represents the petals of the flower. The gold flower head has four layers of felt padding underneath the gold work. The centre of the flower head is outlined with overstretched gilt No.1 pearl purl and filled in with chips of gilt bright check purl. The remainder of the flower head is worked as laid work in No.8 Japanese Gold which is then outlined with s-ing using gilt rough purls. One leaf is worked as laid work using twist and medium rococo together and the other leaf is filled in with rows of slightly overstretched gilt bright check that are stitched with a dark pink YLI silk thread. This leaf is very jewel-like. The stem is fine rococo which is outlined with gilt super pearl purl. This is an excellent beginner's piece.

Dimensions: 18cm x 8cm (7in x 3.1in)
