Boy and his Snow Friend

A bright winter scene: a boy in a grey padded coat hugging his snowman, with snowflakes falling against a blue sky. The shading of the snow and of the woollens is built up from a very wide palette, so it is a project that rewards a tidy thread organiser and some practice in following a busy chart.

Everything you need for the stitching is in the box, chart and needle included; the frame is not supplied. A hoop or frame and a sharp pair of embroidery scissors make the work more comfortable. The fabric is larger than the design, leaving a margin for mounting, so the finished piece makes a Christmas picture to hang or to give as a present.
