A birth keepsake in soft sepia shades: the baby sleeps curled up in the mother's hands, and the alphabet included in the chart lets you add the name, the date and the birth weight. The gentle shading comes from only a few colours, worked mainly in cross stitch with some half cross stitch and long stitches for the finer details.
Everything needed to stitch is in the box, apart from a hoop or frame, which you will need to buy separately along with a small pair of scissors. The finished picture makes a welcome gift for a birth or a christening; marking the centre of the fabric with a tacking thread before you start makes placing the design easier.
