A tongue-in-cheek sampler devoted to gin: nine panels, each with a small motif and its caption, read together like a collection of jokes to stitch. It is a good-sized piece, suited to anyone with a little experience of counted cross stitch who enjoys working through several motifs within one chart.
Alongside the cross stitch you will use backstitch for the outlines and lettering and French knots for the small details, all explained in the instructions. A frame is not included: a hoop or frame to stitch on and a small pair of embroidery scissors are handy too. Once finished, the piece looks at home framed in a kitchen or home bar, and makes a fun gift for a gin lover.
