Table Topper - Snowflakes

A ready-made table topper with finished hems and an evenweave Brittney panel in the centre: you simply stitch the ring of snowflakes and leave the rest plain white. The four shades of blue and grey give a quiet wintry look that suits the Christmas table as well as everyday use.

Everything needed for the stitching is supplied apart from a hoop or frame, which is handy to keep the central area taut. Cross stitch is worked over two fabric threads, with one or two strands of stranded cotton depending on the coverage you prefer. When finished, wash by hand and press on the wrong side over a soft cloth.
