Little by Little Blooming - Bellana

A summery floral arrangement held in three glass jars, with peonies, daisies, lily of the valley and a few butterflies: a delicate design with many shades of pink and green, and lettering to finish in backstitch. The 38 colours and the shaded petals call for some practice with counted cross stitch and with reading a chart.

Everything you need to stitch is in the box; the frame is not included. A hoop or frame and good lighting make the work easier, especially on Bellana, which has a fine weave. Once finished, the piece suits framing, with or without a mount, to hang in a kitchen or living room.
