Balance

A close-up portrait of a flamingo, its neck curving softly against a green background, making a striking piece once finished. It is worked in counted cross stitch following the chart, with back stitch to sharpen the beak and the outlines; the full colour printing underneath the fabric shows where each area of the design sits and makes it easier to keep your place.

Everything needed for the stitching is in the box, threads included; a frame is not included, and neither are a hoop or scissors. The finished square can be framed or made up into a cushion.
