Runner - Flowers & Leaves

A ready-made table runner to embroider: the hem is already finished, so all the work goes into the flowering spray that runs down the centre, worked in counted cross stitch following the chart. The white evenweave fabric makes the threads easy to count, and because the design sits in one band it can be finished in a few evenings.

Everything you need is in the kit, threads and needle included: just add a hoop or frame if you like to keep the fabric taut. Once finished, wash it gently and press it face down on a soft cloth, and it is ready for the table or a sideboard. It also makes a thoughtful gift for the home, teamed with napkins in matching colours.
