Roses and Lilacs

A full floral arrangement with plenty of shading: pink and coral roses, sprays of lilac and green leaves standing out against a dark ground, with the glass vase worked in pale tones. There are many colour changes, so it helps to work methodically, following the large-square chart and keeping the threads on the organiser provided.

Everything needed for the stitching is in the kit: you only need to add a hoop or frame and a small pair of scissors, plus a picture frame for finishing, which is not included. A generously sized design, well suited to stitchers with some experience who want a picture to hang in the living room or bedroom.
