Kitchen Dresser

14 ct, stitched over 1

Make taking a break extra-special by carrying your tea set on this country kitchen dresser design - biscuits a must! Adorned with pretty china crockery, lengths of gingham bunting and a darling assortment of decorations, this beautiful dresser instantly adds a rustic farmhouse feel to any home. If you'd love to have a life-sized version in your kitchen - or are lucky enough to have one already! - Diane's charming design is perfect for you. Using soft pastel shades such as cream, duck-egg blue and pink, you'll cleverly work whole cross stitches and fractionals to create subtle shading. And, we love the way the backstitch only picks out certain elements of the scene, such as the bunting and tea cups, to add depth and dimension to the finished piece. As it's quite densely stitched, this detailed design is one for stitchers with a bit more experienced. And, be sure to mount your stitching in the beautiful wooden tea tray from Turnstyle. Designed specifically to fit, it's a great way to show off your skills and will certainly be a finish to be proud of!
