Better Together

A ladybird and a bee meet beneath two arches of bluebells, among leaves and flowering dandelions, with the little saying stitched along the bottom. The design is small but detailed, with plenty of shaded greens and yellows, so it suits stitchers who are already comfortable counting from a chart.

It is worked in full cross stitch on white Aida, with back stitch for the outlines and the lettering and a few French knots for the finishing touches. The threads come ready sorted on an organiser, so you can start straight away. You will also want a hoop or frame to stitch on, and a picture frame, which is not included.
