Mountain Creek

An autumn scene in the mountains: clear water tumbles between boulders, the fir wood stays deep green and the birches in the foreground carry yellow and orange leaves. The shading of the water and the foliage calls for careful chart reading, so this is a project for stitchers with a little experience.

The threads come already sorted by colour on an organiser, so you can start without preparing them first. A hoop or frame is worth adding, as it keeps the fabric taut over a piece of this size. No frame is included: once finished, the work is best mounted on a rigid board before framing.
