A Plant Corner

A row of pots filled with cacti and succulents, enclosed in a border of pink, green and yellow triangles: a fresh design with plenty of shaded greens and small bursts of flowers. You stitch by counting on the Aida fabric, following the large-square chart; a few long stitches pick out the cactus spines and the finer outlines.

The threads are pre-selected and included, so all you need to add is a hoop or frame and a small pair of embroidery scissors. The frame shown in the photo is not part of the kit: once finished, the piece can be framed, made into a wall panel or turned into a cushion for a green corner at home.
