Tulips and Lily

A bright floral arrangement: a pink lily at the centre, tulips, drifts of blue forget-me-nots and a dragonfly hovering above. The design is worked in counted cross stitch following the full-colour symbolic chart, on light grey fabric that stays visible around the bouquet and keeps the whole piece airy.

The threads come already sorted by colour on the organiser, so you can start stitching straight away. With many shades and subtle colour changes, it suits someone comfortable with reading a chart. You will also need a hoop or frame and small scissors; no frame is included, so it can be chosen once the stitching is done.
