Growing Old Together

Two dogs resting side by side, from Hannah Dale's watercolours for the Wrendale collection. The speckled background is already printed on the fabric, so only the animals are stitched: full cross stitches throughout, with a little backstitch to define outlines and fur. The threads come ready sorted by colour on the organiser, so you can start straight away.

You will also want a hoop or frame and a small pair of embroidery scissors; a frame for display is not included and can be chosen once the stitching is done. The shaded fur rewards a little experience, and the finished piece makes a lovely gift for a dog lover.
