Inspired by a foxglove motif found on the historic Kinghorne Bed in the King’s Dressing Room at Glamis Castle, this elegant design reimagines the original detail in luminous silk and sparkling gold couching.

The kit combines silk shading with goldwork techniques to create a piece rich in texture and dimension. Stitches include Fly Stitch, Satin Stitch, Long & Short shading, Gold Couching, and the application of spangles — offering a rewarding exploration of silk and metal thread embroidery.

A beautifully balanced project by renowned designer Kate Barlow, this design is ideal for stitchers wishing to develop their confidence in combining silk and goldwork techniques while creating a striking historic-inspired piece.
