Hiding in Hydrangea

Two soft little faces peep out from the hydrangea blooms, in a design built on gentle blues and lilacs with green leaves adding depth. The 16-count Aida keeps the stitches neat and well defined; if you have not stitched on this count before, a hoop and good light make it much easier to follow the squares.

Everything needed for the stitching is in the kit, so you only need to add scissors, a hoop and a frame for the finished work. The tall format suits a small picture to hang or stand on a shelf, and makes a nice gift for anyone who loves sweet, character-led designs.
