Poppy Field

28 ct, stitched over 2

Stitch your very own slice of idyllic countryside with this stunning vignette of a vibrant, poppy-filled field. We think a wildflower meadow in full bloom is one of the loveliest sights to behold. And, with their blousy petals catching the warm summer breeze, heads tilted towards the sun, the poppies in this beautiful scene are no exception. As you work this densely stitched piece, you'll feel as though you've been transported to a tranquil landscape where time stands still. Bringing this scene to lift will be a real delight to both hand and eye, testing your stitching abilities with its level of detail and rich colour palette. You'll use a variety of techniques to achieve the painterly finish. The detailed backstitch will bring the poppies in the foreground into focus, while whole cross stitches in a variety of colours in the midground will help you create a lovely sense of depth. Worked on 28-count evenweave to add to the delicate feel of this watercolour-inspired scene, the finished result will be a work of art that Monet himself would love!
