Morning in Rosy Tones

A bright window with clematis and hydrangeas in bloom, a china teapot and breakfast laid out on the sill: a design full of soft pinks and greens, suited to stitchers with some experience who enjoy a larger piece with many colour changes and subtle shading.

Counted cross stitch is worked by following the squares of the chart on the Aida fabric, usually with two strands of stranded cotton; the threads come already sorted on the organiser, so there is nothing to order before you begin. You will still need a hoop or frame and small scissors. Once finished, a picture of this size is best framed — the frame is not included.
