Alister is a rather pretty parrot, isn’t he? Parrots are popular subjects in Victorian needlework, possibly because they were fashionable as pets. Enjoy stitching this charming design with the highest quality Elizabeth Bradley wool.

I have waited a long time to purchase Alistair The Parrot but I always got distracted by all the other beautiful designs and he was always “next time”. Finally it was his time and I purchased not Alister but also his mate Pete, both in the pale blue background. I can’t wait to get started over Christmas and New Year as I will be staying with my daughter and so will have plenty of time. It’s going to be a very happy stitching festive period.
I’m stitching him as a Christmas gift for me DIL- she gets the beautiful box to open Christmas Day
Alister the Parrot is beautiful and compliments Pete the Parrot which I stitched from the book years ago. The wool colours are tasteful, in true EB style. I would recommend these kits to anyone who loves needlepoint.
Beautiful, luscious, as are all of EB products!
Since 1990 I have owned two Elizabeth Bradley needlepoint books and had finished several projects from them and ogled others, especially the parrot. I haven't done any needlepoint in over 25 years and was thrilled with Alister the Parrot when I opened the box. Although the continental tent stitch and half cross tent stitch were the stitches I had typically used, the Victorian cross stitch is easy to work, especially since the design is perfectly and evenly printed. Gorgeous! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Elizabeth Bradley needlepoint kits.
Great quality wool. Needed to complete the background on my squirrel kit. Almost completed and the next project is waiting in the wings!
I have done soo many of your tapestries over the years and one thing I LOVE is cherries,so when I saw that you had a cherry tapestry, I was sooooo excited I had to get it. Gosh it’s fabulous and I can’t tell you the joy it is bringing me while I work on it. THANK YOU.
Very nice and gives me in this turbulent times a lot of peace of mind Thank you very much Cornelia de Wilde from France
This has been an absolute delight to stitch. The last EB kit I bought about 30 years ago, and the printing accuracy since then is immeasurable. It is so incredibly accurate over the canvas that the need to count from the chart is almost unnecessary. The packaging is beautiful and the box is a handy to carry as a sewing box whilst working on it. The quality is second to none. I have and will continue to recommend this product to anyone both novice and experienced to stitch.
As I am currently struggling with the intricacies of the Morning Glory Trellis canvas, the prospect of eventually being able to move onto the Emperor with its brilliant colours and nice balance between background and detail stitching has definitely encouraged me to try to maintain some momentum with Morning Glory - I am sure the finished article will be lovely but am looking forward to the Emperor, which will be more my style of stitching - must confess to liking the relaxation of a stretch of background, amidst the complex detail!
This is a beautiful kit, with the usual wonderful combination of colours. It was hard to choose which Chelsea Kit to do first, but what clinched this one for me, is the magnificent tree in the centre and the lovely little, very British field scene under the tree and beyond the tree. Absolute perfection. Also, I do love stitching Basketweave for a change.
This is another superb kit. The printing if the design is perfect so stitching is made so much easier. By far and away Elizabeth Bradley kits are the very best. For years I used another company but am now so glad I found EB. I also love the accessories; the stork scissors, the wool organiser and the logo kit bag. Superb quality, highly recommended.
Usual beautiful presentation and a joy to work with.
A beautiful and "different" design, a special limited edition, with lovely colours and details. I very much like traditional pastoral designs and took the opportunity to purchase it when it was recently on offer. I am so pleased that I did so. Excellent service as always from Elizabeth Bradley. Promptly received and beautifully packaged. Very many thanks.
A beautiful marine design in natural tones, ideal for sewing on summer days
I love the kits and this is the first one with a black background I have begun. The red really stands out. The canvas printing is excellent. The service is fantastic. Thanks for another beautiful kit.
Perfect
This is a beautiful design and the kit is wonderful- beautifully packaged and all well explained. It would make a lovely gift as a kit or as a finished piece.
I’ve been waiting for these boxes to come back in stock. They are really well made. The 6 inch designs fit in really well.
Colours are absolutely gorgeous. I’m looking forward to adding this project to my collection of completed canvases. Elizabeth Bradley are second to none when it comes to service and quality. Thank you!
