Meadow Blooms

A bunch of meadow flowers to work in counted cross stitch on the white Aida supplied with the kit. The wide range of DMC shades lets you blend petals, leaves and stems softly: it is a medium-sized piece that calls for careful chart reading, so it suits stitchers who have already completed a counted project or two.

Fabric, threads, needle, chart and instructions are all included, while a hoop or frame, small scissors and a picture frame need to be added. On 16-count Aida the stitching is usually done with two strands, counting the squares of the fabric. Once finished, it makes a floral picture to frame.
