This is my wife's favourite opera and so when I saw this kit, I had to get it. I'm so glad I did, this is a wonderful kit: The pattern is clear and easy to read, the fabric and threads are excellent quality and the extras are a really welcome and thoughtful bonus - 4 needles, a needle threader, a bobbin of metallic thread for highlighting and a full and comprehensive set of paperwork all in a very useful sealable pouch.
The delivery was astoundingly fast and I was kept fully informed on progress.
As I say, this is my wife's favourite opera - personally I much prefer stitching it to listening to it 😉

Her First Place by George Dunlop Leslie is a heartwarming Victorian-era painting that captures a young maiden sitting in a modest yet cozy interior, dressed in a simple gown and apron, gazing outward with a quiet, contemplative expression. A black cat at her feet adds a sense of warmth and companionship.

Promotions & Discount Codes
Promotions and Discount Codes are two types of benefits in our store.
Promotions are limited time offers that may require a code or may be automatically applied at checkout. Promotions are shared first via our newsletter and then to our social media, and website. Sometimes, promotions can be combined, while other times, only the best available offer will apply.
Discount codes are exclusive offers sent personally to individual customers when issued—such as upon joining as a member or during special events throughout the year. Customers who purchase their first kit will also receive a special, exclusive lifetime code that can be used on every future order. Discount codes are stackable and can be used alongside any current promotion.

I have just received my design and am absolutely thrilled. It was packaged well, the design card, threads and fabric were all of the highest quality. Symbols on design card were also an easy size to read. Due to living in South Africa, and the postal system being what it is, there were a few hiccups along the way,- through no fault of the supplier I might add. However, the supplier was most obliging and so helpful...nothing was too much trouble. This is the first time I have ordered something of this nature online, and I was a little sceptical at first (not being able to see the actual product itself), but I would not hesitate to recommend Lauren Mills to any person who is looking for quality, efficiency and friendliness. I will be back....although I think my design might take a little while!!
