Three self-important hens with red combs and striped spindly legs, gathered for a chat and a cup of tea: a humorous design by Margaret Sherry, one of the best-loved names in British cross stitch.
The piece is stitched by counting the squares of the Aida: blocks of colour in cross stitch, outlines in back stitch and a few details in French knots, so it suits anyone who has already completed a project or two. The threads come ready sorted on the organiser, so there is no need to match shade numbers. You will also need a hoop or frame for stitching, and a picture frame for the finished work: neither is included. The landscape format looks at home in a kitchen or dining room.
