KNOW YOUR NEEDLEPOINT The Fei Collection needlepoint kits are original and timeless designs created in-house by Fei Trapnell, who is a self-taught designer and stitcher and has an innate ability for creating beautiful needlework. Fei designs and stitches each piece with passion, care and time. The kits come in three different sizes – small (pincushion), medium and large. All of The Fei Collection needlepoint kits are carefully assembled by hand to the highest quality ensuring customers will enjoy stitching today’s treasures and tomorrows’ heirlooms. They make wonderful gifts, which are lovely to give and to receive. The latest addition to the range of medium-sized needlepoint kits is ‘Kitchen Garden Sampler’ – it was inspired by Fei’s love of gardening and home produce. The kit contains English Appleton wool, wool index card, Printed Zweigart interlock canvas, needle, chart and instructions – all of which are packaged in The Fei Collection’s distinctive dark green gift bag with stylish cord handles.
