PopCorn: Treehouse

A soft, gentle birth sampler from Vervaco's Popcorn range: a treehouse with a bear cub peeping out, a lamb on a swing, a leafy branch and a few butterflies, plus an open panel for the baby's name and date of birth. It is worked in counted cross stitch from the chart, on a fine Aida that keeps the small details crisp.

You will also need a hoop or frame and a small pair of embroidery scissors; the picture frame shown in the photo is not included. Once finished, the piece is usually framed for the nursery wall, and it makes a thoughtful present for a birth or a christening if you start it in good time.
