The purple starry sky is already printed on the fabric, so you stitch the figures and let the printed background set the scene: the work grows quickly and keeps the soft feel of the original illustration. Alongside the cross stitch there is some back stitch for the outlines, one French knot and a few beads to attach, details that suit anyone with a little stitching experience.
The threads come ready sorted on an organiser, so there is no time lost matching shades. A hoop or frame and small embroidery scissors make the work easier; the picture frame is not included. Once finished, it makes an autumn piece to hang up for Halloween.
