Saying Hello

A winter evening in front of a mountain lodge: lit windows, a wreath on the door, a fire bowl burning in the yard and a young deer coming up to the snow-covered mailbox. The kit holds everything needed to stitch the scene in counted cross stitch on the Aida supplied, following the chart square by square.

This is a demanding project: many colours, wide stretches of white and blue shading for the snow and a large stitching area, so some experience is helpful. A frame or hoop and good light make the work easier; once finished, the piece deserves framing, perhaps as a Christmas picture to bring out every year.
