Faster than the Wind

A girl runs through wild flowers, daisies and poppies, her hair lifted by the wind: a bright scene worked in many shades of yellow, green and blue. The 32 shades of stranded cotton come ready sorted on an organiser, so the skeins stay tidy while you stitch.

16 count Aida has a fine weave and is usually stitched with one strand, so the result is small in scale and richly shaded: work in good light and use a magnifier if you need one. The frame is not included. You will also want a hoop or frame and small scissors; once finished, the piece can be framed with or without a mount.
