Poppies for Needlewoman

A bunch of poppies and wheat gathered inside an embroidery hoop, with a ball of yarn, knitting needles and a crochet hook: a design for anyone who loves needlework. It is worked in counted cross stitch on unprinted fabric, following the symbolic chart and counting the stitches from the centre outwards.

The threads come already sorted by colour on an organiser, a real help in a project with this many shades. You will also want a hoop or frame and a small pair of embroidery scissors. The finished square piece suits framing particularly well: the frame is not included.
