Say a bright hello to our set of four nostalgic postcard designs each depicting an iconic European city. What better way to brush up on your foreign languages than by stitching one of Emma's stylised urban icons? From Barcelona's striking Sagrada Familia to Paris's Eiffel Tower, and Amsterdam's narrow townhouses, windmill and tulips to Pisa's famous leaning tower, there's bound to be a postcard for you. While the stitches themselves are simple, the range of different shades, number of colour changes and level of detail means these gorgeous designs are so satisfying to settle down with. Why not daydream about escaping on your own city break while you're stitching one?
