My Garden Shed

A corner of a summer garden: the blue shed door standing open, a straw hat hooked onto it and, all around, climbing roses, sunflowers and pots of daisies. The design is worked in counted cross stitch from the chart, usually with two strands of stranded cotton on 14 count Aida.

Everything you need for the stitching is in the kit; the frame shown in the photo is not included, and neither are a hoop and scissors, which help to keep the fabric taut and to work neatly. It is a good-sized project, suited to stitchers with some experience of counting, and makes a picture to frame for the home or to give as a gift.
