Customer Reviews:
WendaMany thanks for my order which arrived yesterday and as usual was beautifully packaged. I love your little bag and will keep my current project threads and needles in there. Your Embroidered Country Gardens book is brilliant, extremely informative with gorgeous photographs and there are so many projects I am itching to start. You are indeed an amazing embroiderer and I thank you for inspiring me to sew again.
GuðbjörgAbsolutely amazing seller. Lorna replaced my order when it got lost with the postal service and stayed in contact with me to let me know about the status of my order. She’s quite amazing and kind as I had waited for a few months before letting her know that my order hadn’t arrived, which admittedly I should have let her know much earlier. Thank you so much Lorna! Beautiful coloured threads. Even lovelier in person as I can’t even describe how in awe I am in by the dye works by Chameleon.
LindaHighly recommend. Such beautiful work available from such a talented artist.
KateI have received my order today, the way it was packed is a credit to you. Thank you for your very quick delivery. This is new to me but I’m looking forward to giving it a try!
JenniferI simply cannot recommend this shop enough! Lorna’s book is absolutely amazing. There are so many beautiful pictures, templates, details and tips throughout the pages. My heart smiled a little bit more with each turn of the page! I also purchased the Rambling Rose Scissors holder kit and it doesn’t disappoint either! Such beautiful, packed perfectly materials along with amazing directions- you can’t go wrong! Lorna has taken the time to add that extra touch and it shows in her pieces and product. Whatever you are considering to buy, go ahead and purchase. You will not be disappointed. Beautiful products and great customer service!
CustomerVery nice, professional seller. Lightening fast delivery. Fantastic item, presented most gorgeously. It will be a pleasure to make it. Thank you, Lorna 🙂
SallyI want to say a warm thank you to you for the package I received. Opening it felt like I was having a birthday! And your book is truly inspiring! I am a complete novice to embroidery and after reading through it I feel confident to start my first of what will be many projects. Thank you for all of the care and attention to detail that you made in writing your book and also in your business, it is truly appreciated!
SueMy order arrived today, I’m absolutely thrilled with it can’t wait to start. I’m a total beginner with a love of crafts and gardening so your book and kits were a joy to find.

I love receiving a parcel from Lorna Bateman Embroidery – the presentation and preparation of your kits are second to none as are the comprehensive instructions. Very few offer the same high standards thinking of everything and leaving nothing to chance.
