“No need to hurry. No need to sparkle. No need to be anybody but oneself.”

I have a huge soft spot for Virginia Woolf. I have been lucky enough to teach at both Monk’s House and Charleston House which were fantastic glimpses into this complicated lady’s life. I admire her honesty, her introspection and how she made everything she did a work of art.

As part of a celebration combining Appletons Wools and all things hailing from the British Isles, I have come up with my homage to this truly unique and quintessentially British author.

This kit is worked in tent stitch and includes a 12 hpi colour printed canvas, Appleton Wools, needles and instructions.
