A summer bunch of black eyed susans and phlox in a tall, narrow format, worked in counted cross stitch on white Aida following the chart. The 16-count fabric gives small, crisp stitches that suit the shading of the petals: a project for stitchers who are already comfortable with counted work and with frequent colour changes.
The kit provides the stitching materials, threads included; you will also need a hoop or frame to work on, and a picture frame once the piece is finished. The long vertical shape works well as a panel to hang beside a door or along a hallway.
