We are excited to offer these new designs as a complete set, including all four canvases, threads, and a Stitch Guide booklet! When the sets with threads sell out, we will no longer be offering thread kits for this series - so get the discounted bundle while you can!

Every year, the first Sunday in May brings the ‘most exciting two minutes in sports’, and alongside the joy and exuberance of the run for the roses, a palpable anticipation lurks. Will this be the year a horse steps up to become the next Triple Crown winner?

A tradition of horse racing is the draping of a blanket of flowers over the winning horse. Combining a love of horse racing and needlepoint, this series uses ribbon work to create the three distinctive blankets for the Triple Crown: the Kentucky Derby is the run for the roses, the Preakness winner wears the blanket of black-eyed susans, and the Belmont winner a blanket of white carnations. Whether you are an experienced or newer stitcher, this series will guide you through the steps needed to create a special piece honoring each race and the 13 horses to date who have accomplished the incredible feat of winning the Triple Crown.

Core fibers and stitches will carry a cohesive throughline for the series, so however you chose to display or finish your pieces, there will be no doubt they are a set. The individual defining feature of each piece is brought in highlighting the beauty of each race’s tradition, with the ribbon work applied to the blankets of roses, carnations, or black-eyed susans.
