Tits in Flower Wreath

A wreath of apple blossom framing two tits perched on a branch: a springlike design in soft pinks, whites and greens, with plenty of shading to keep the stitching interesting without making it difficult. Counted cross stitch is worked square by square from the chart, usually starting at the centre of the fabric.

Everything needed for the stitching is in the box; the frame is not included, and a hoop or frame is useful if you prefer to work with the fabric held taut. Given its size and the number of shades, this is a project to take at a steady pace, best suited to stitchers with some experience. Once finished it can be framed as a picture or made up into a cushion.
