Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star…

A storytelling sampler of well-loved nursery rhymes, with mice rowing a boat, riding the school bus and sheltering from the rain. It comes from Bothy Threads' Birth Samplers collection, so it works nicely as a nursery picture or a new-baby gift.

The threads arrive already sorted on the organiser, so you can start stitching straight away from the colour chart. Alongside the cross stitch you will need back stitch for the outlines and lettering and a few French knots for the details, which makes it a project for someone with a little experience. A hoop or frame is not included; once finished, the piece looks good framed with a pale mount.
