Buldog & Butterflies

A bulldog puppy resting next to a decorated vase filled with pink roses, with butterflies fluttering around: a soft-toned design with plenty of shading in the coat and the petals. Everything needed for the stitching is in the box, so you can start straight away following the symbol chart.

The 16-count Aida has a fine weave: if it is your first time working on this count, good lighting and a magnifier help a lot, while a hoop or frame (not included) keeps the fabric taut and the stitches even. With 40 colours it is worth sorting the threads onto an organiser before you begin. The finished piece is made to be framed; the frame is not included.
