Fritillary’s heritage and pedigree are to be found in the hand stitched pure silk embroidery pictures of Helen M. Stevens. A member of the Society of Women Artists, Helen has taken the art of hand embroidery to extraordinary heights. Her pure silk creations are in collections worldwide, both public and private, including the Palace of Westminster. Helen shares her hand stitching skills via her immensely popular classes – both live and online – and her books featuring hand embroidered needle painting, other fine hand stitching techniques and embroidery designs are bestsellers.

It may be that traditional forms of hand embroidery and needlepainting are your favourites: stem stitch, feather stitch, long stitch, seed stitch, fly stitch – their very names conjure pictures in silk of the English countryside. Fritillary and our sister site www.helenmstevens.co.uk will take you places you have never been before! Or perhaps you need pure silk hand embroidery threads and fine silk fabric for other arts and crafts: hand or machine stitchers will love our fabrics available by the meter, panel or fat quarter. We also supply a superb miscellany of craftsman made needlework tools, cabinets and beautiful, useful objet d’dart.
And for those of you who want to indulge yourselves without the stitching – we have a range of ready made garments and accessories.
