Conker Window

An autumn scene framed by a window, from original artwork by Lizzie Spikes: a moonlit night over the hills on one side, a meadow with foxes on the other, and conkers resting on the sill. The design is full of detail and shaded colour, so it suits stitchers who already have some experience of counted work and enjoy a long, absorbing project.

The threads come pre-sorted by colour, ready to use; the frame is not included, and you will also want a hoop or stand, small scissors and good light. The 16 count Aida gives a fine, crisp result. Once finished, the piece looks well framed with a pale mount that echoes the painted window.
