Description

A woodland take on Christmas: the little mouse tucked under the toadstool, the berries and the tiny flowers stand out against the cool blue Aida, which acts as a winter sky so there is no background to fill in. Back stitch forms the lettering and the finer outlines, while French knots add texture to the snow and the small details.

It suits stitchers with some experience of counted work who want a manageable piece finished in time for the holidays. The frame is not included: you will also need a hoop or frame to stitch on, small scissors, and a mount, frame or cushion front for the finished piece.
