A birth sampler worked in counted cross stitch: the smiling ladybug among mushrooms and flowers leaves room at the top for the baby's name and date, which you set out using the alphabet supplied with the chart. A few long stitches are used for the antennae and the finer details.
The round embroidery ring is included and can be kept as the final frame, with the work left stretched inside it: the quickest finish for a new-baby or christening gift. 18 count Aida gives a small stitch, so good light helps, and a magnifier if you use one. The finished piece can also be framed conventionally or made up into a cushion.
