Three small autumn pictures to work in cross stitch on Aida: pumpkins among flowers, an umbrella propped up beside a pair of boots, and a front door dressed for the season. Outlines are added in back stitch at the end, which sharpens the details.
The fine Aida count keeps each design compact and quick to finish, so the set suits anyone who stitches a little at a time. You will also need a small hoop and a pair of embroidery scissors. Frames are not included: once finished, the miniatures can be framed as a triptych, mounted on greetings cards or made up into little scented sachets.
