A red amaryllis opening at the top of its stem, with two hummingbirds hovering around the petals and the bulb lightly sketched at the base: a tall, narrow botanical design worked in counted cross stitch following the chart supplied.
The kit holds everything needed for the stitching itself: the even-weave Aida, the pre-selected threads and the needle. You will also want a hoop or frame and a small pair of embroidery scissors, and the frame shown in the photo is not included. The 28 shades give depth to the petals and to the birds' plumage; since the white ground stays visible, it is worth keeping hands clean and putting the work away between sessions.
