Three small seaside pictures to work in counted cross stitch on Aida: striped tents and beach huts, deckchairs, a parasol and seagulls, with a little back stitch to sharpen the outlines. Being miniatures, they stitch up quickly and are a good way to try a finer count without committing to a large project.
The threads come ready sorted by colour on the organiser, so you can start straight away. A small hoop and good light help on this count. The frames shown in the photo are not included: once finished, the three pieces can be framed as a triptych, mounted on greetings cards or made into little panels for a bathroom or a seaside house.
