Geraniums

A cluster of geraniums in full bloom, the shading of the pink and white petals standing out against a deep green background. It is worked in counted cross stitch on linen, over two threads: there are plenty of shades, but the design is generous in size and the large-square chart makes them easy to follow.

Everything needed for the stitching comes in the kit; the frame shown in the photo is not included, nor is an embroidery frame or hoop, which is worth having to keep the linen taut. Given the size, this is a project that asks for time rather than advanced skills, made to be framed and hung in a living room or bedroom.
