Spring Arrangement

A spring flower arrangement to work in counted cross stitch on ecru 16-count Aida: the pale ground sets off the 40 DMC colours of the chart, which give soft shading through the petals and the foliage. The weave of 16-count Aida is fairly fine, so this piece suits stitchers with a little cross stitch practice and good light.

All the stitching materials are in the kit, threads and needle included; you will want to add a hoop or frame and small scissors, plus a frame for the finished work. The size and the subject make it a picture to hang at home or to give as a present.
