Elizabeth II : Diamond Jubilee (IX) : another roundup


Sandringham, another Diamond Jubilee sampler design from Riverdrift House.
Here's the website description:
Within a border of Norfolk lavender sits the Queen's country residence, Sandringham House, where the Royal family spend each Christmas. We have included Jubilee oak leaves and acorns and a newly planted sapling for the Jubilee Woods Project, apples and blackcurrants (grown on the Royal Fruit Farms for producing juice and cordial), Queen Alexandra's Summer House above the lake, Estate Christmas trees and a Norfolk Black turkey, tea and cake at The Stables Tea Room, pheasants, a Cromer crab, Union Jacks and some Royal pets!
Design uses 12 colours of Anchor 6-stranded embroidery thread on a white 14 count Aida fabric.
Pack includes a clear chart on an A3 sheet, instructions and a gold-plated needle.
The size of the finished needlework is approx 25 x 25cm/ 10 x 10 inches.
Price: £12.95




This kit has been selling on eBay and is available as a kit or chart from seller wumplekin.  Description:
Kits contain needle, threads, 14 count aida, colour chart and instructions.
Size of the finished picture is 5" x 7" (70 x 98 stitches). Whole stitches only are used so these kits will suit all abilities from beginner to expert. The crown is stitched using Anchor Marlitt (to give it a shine) but enough ordinary thread will be in the kit for anyone not wanting to use this.
Price: £7.39


This one's from a magazine, but I haven't yet worked out which one.  Several eBay sellers are selling the magazine pages or colour copies of them.

eBay seller zara-karen-xstitching has kits for sale based on the Diamond Jubilee emblem.  There isn't a stitched example, only a copy of the emblem as above.
Description:
