One of Santoro London's Gorjuss girls, suspended between sun and moon in a palette of pinks and blues. The Aida comes printed in full colour: the chart tells you which stitches to work, while the print helps you place them and fills in the background, so the piece looks complete from the very first session.
Alongside the cross stitch there is back stitch for the outlines, metallic thread for the rays and beads for the sparkle, and all of it is in the box, though the frame is not part of the kit. A hoop or frame and a small pair of embroidery scissors are handy while you stitch. The tall format suits a framed picture for a bedroom wall.
