The Dance of Esmeralda

A night-time camp scene: the dancer with her tambourine spins in a red skirt in front of the fire, while musicians play and the group looks on among the caravans. The design is already printed in colour on the Penelope canvas, so there is no counting involved: you simply cover the print with half cross stitches.

Threads are not included: the required materials list suggests the DMC Soft Cotton shades that match the printing, and they can be added to the cart in one go. Given the size, a floor or scroll frame makes the work much easier. Once finished, the panel suits a large framed picture or a wall hanging.
