Our 150th anniversary and a new stitch competition with Appletons Wool brings a double celebration!  Appletons Wool is giving you the chance to win £500 and have your stitch design marketed around the world in conjunction with the Royal School of Needlework.

To enter, design and stitch an embroidery or tapestry kit using the theme of Celebration and whatever it might mean to you. It could be bunting, a greeting card, a cushion, a picture or something not even thought of yet! Anyone can enter – professional or amateur.

The winning entry will not only receive the cash prize, but also have their kit marketed around the world under their name and the Appletons brand. The Royal School of Needlework’s logo will also be featured as a percentage of each sale will be kindly donated to us by Appletons.

So get your creative stitch juices flowing. The one requirement is that you only use Appletons Wool, and with 425 shades, that should leave plenty of scope for imagination. The closing date is 31 July 2022.

Visit the Appletons website for more details.

Happy Stitching and good luck!
