Prettiest Fairy

14 ct, stitched over 1

Have you ever been at the bottom of a garden, or walking through shaded woodland, and spotted a sudden movement from the corner of your eye? No matter how fast you turn - we've tried! - those lightening-quick fairies are too clever to be caught by any mere mortal. But, while we might not be able to see them with the naked eye, or snap these sweet sprites on camera, there's one way we can bring them to you - in cross stitch! Moving swiftly through the flowers, her dainty footsteps barely creating a breeze, you'll recreate this tiny little fairy in perfect detail. From the wind in her hair to that darling dress made from the loveliest hand-picked flora, this scene is a joy to bring to life. And, who could forget those delicate gossamer wings? Stitched in three beautiful shades of DMC Light Effects threads, we love the way they shimmer and shine in the light - just like the real thing! Stitching Time: Approx. 50 hours. Type of Stitches: Cross stitch, fractionals, backstitch, French knots.
