Description

A little museum of the bicycle worked in thread: each panel shows a machine with its date and a hand-lettered caption, from the wooden draisine right through to today's electric bikes. A cheerful subject for anyone who cycles, and an easy gift choice for a keen rider.

The design is worked in counted cross stitch over the squares of the Aida, with fractional stitches for the curves, back stitch for outlines and lettering and French knots for small details, so a little experience helps. The frame is not included; a hoop or frame and good light are worth having, and the finished piece is made to be framed.
