A vintage-style bunch of poppies in a wide horizontal format, worked in counted cross stitch from the chart supplied. On 32-count evenweave the stitches are made over two threads, giving the same stitch density as 16-count Aida: some confidence with counting helps, while the wide range of colours allows soft shading across the petals.
Fabric, threads, needle, chart and instructions are all in the box, so all you need to add is a hoop or frame and a small pair of scissors. The long, narrow shape suits framing above a door, a console table or a bookcase, and a floral subject always makes a safe gift.
