Hello, I’m back after what seems like quite a while a way (unfortunately not on holiday) but it has been a very busy summer of teaching so far. Welcome to another How to….. post. This week we are looking at how to work a stumpwork […]
A Brief History of Tambour The exact origins of Tambour are not all that clear. However it is thought to have been brought over to France and Britain from India during the 18th Century. There is evidence to suggest that examples of Tambour were exported by […]
Stumpwork became popular in the 17th century, with it peaking between 1650 and 1690, although the term stumpwork was only used from the end of the 19th century. Before that time however, it was known as raised work or embossed work, which dates back to the […]

May I simply say what a relief to discover somebody that genuinely understands what they are discussing online. You actually realize how to bring an issue to light and make it important. A lot more people ought to read this and understand this side of your story. I was surprised that you are not more popular since you certainly possess the gift.
Have just found this web site, looks pretty good to me.
I live in the US, and ordered 2 kits back in December. I got a personal email from Sara within 24 hours telling me the kits had shipped, and before I knew it I had them. They are beautifully packaged. Everything I needed was there, except for the tambour hook, which I already had from a class I took with Sara during the summer. She takes great care in providing a wonderful product, her beautiful designs, has well-written instructions, and is available for me to contact should I need additional help. Sara’s kits would also make excellent gifts to someone in your life who stitches as they are packaged so well. I will continue to do business with Well Embroidered as Sara continues to create and package her designs for those of us who love to stitch!
Thank you Mary for such a kind review. It means so much to me that you are happy with the kits you purchased.

I loved your tambour class this past summer in Lexington. Looking forward to more opportunities to study wiyh you in the coming years.i am eager to study with her again.
Your designs are inspiring and lovely! I stitch birds and love the one Inspirations posted. Do you know how much it would cost in dollars? I Live in California, USA. Thanks
Hi Linda, thank you. Oh great, I love birds, they are such interesting creatures to stitch. I’ve done a conversion and including postage is coming out at $98, please bear in mind that it will fluctuate with the exchange rate. I hope this is helpful.

Hello Sara, have just been looking at your Art Nouveau project in the latest Stitch magazine. I am really interested in having a go at this but wondered if there was a kit for the project. It really is a beautiful project. Many thanks

Hi Yvonne,
Many thanks for getting in contact. I am so pleased you like the project. Currently there is no plan to make this into a kit as I do have a few other projects that need to be worked on first. However I might consider it for the future as I have had a couple of enquiries and it seems to be quite popular. If you want to sign up for my newsletter where I update people on new kit releases then you will be one of the first to know about it.
Thank you
Best Wishes
Sara
