Four hens ready for a night out: heels, floral dresses, striped tights, a cocktail in hand and a handbag over one wing, with the words 'Hen Night' stitched above them. It is a Margaret Sherry design, with her typical humour, and makes a good present for a hen party or for anyone who likes playful subjects.
The design is worked in counted cross stitch on the Aida supplied, with back stitch outlines and French knots for the details. A hoop or frame, scissors and a picture frame are not included, while threads and needle are. The long, narrow shape suits a framed picture for the kitchen or a decorative band on a cushion.
