Hand Embroidery

Several years ago I picked up this kit from a local craft event. The kit is from ricrack. It has everything you need. It is a great way to get an introduction to hand embroidery. Perfect as a gift to a crafty person or if you want to give hand embroidery a try. I've been working on it during a regular Dungeons & Dragon in-person, tabletop game. I've worked on it for two sessions. My guess is that I will work on it for another session.
