Summer Flowers

A softly shaded summer bouquet, with a pale rose at the centre surrounded by pansies, bellflowers and small lilac blossoms: the 37 colours are there to carry the gradations across the petals. It is worked in counted cross stitch on plain white fabric following a symbol chart, so some experience in reading a chart helps.

The threads come ready sorted on an organiser, which keeps things tidy through a long project. A hoop or frame, scissors and framing are not part of the kit, and the frame shown in the photo is not included. Once finished, the piece looks well framed with a light mount.
