A complete embroidery kit, with an original design...and Gothic drama!

This kit features a festive design with a Gothic twist...a skeleton hand holding a sprig of mistletoe, inspired by classic Yuletide traditions and ghostly tales. At this time of the year, evergreens like fir, holly, ivy and mistletoe are brought indoors as symbols of renewal. With a nod to M.R. James and his ghostly fireside tales, 'A Christmas Kiss' combines the tradition of the season with a little ghostly mystery. 

The 'stick and sew' design outline makes it easy to get started, offering a perfect pre-printed outline to follow. This complete kit includes everything you need to create this design.

More Details

This kit celebrates Yuletide folklore and the telling of ghost stories at this time of year.

As mistletoe was believed to symbolise everlasting life, so this design brings to mind themes of renewal. The tradition of Christmas ghost stories adds an extra touch of mystery, inviting you to craft while imagining tales by a roaring fire. M.R. James, author of incredible ghostly stories, would recount ghostly tales to friends while they sat around a roaring fire. ‘I wrote these stories at long intervals, and most of them were read to patient friends, usually at the seasons of Christmas...’.

The design uses a rich blue Jobelan fabric, beautifully contrasting with the grey, silver, and green tones of the DMC threads, giving depth to the skeletal hand and mistletoe.

What could be better than cosying up with this design during these dark nights?
