Woodland Wreaths

14 ct, stitched over 1

Add a delightful splash of colour to your walls with Poppy's oh-so-cute trio of woodland pals! There are few things we love more than stitching sweet woodland friends, and these designs, so lovingly created by Poppy, are no exception! It'll be so fun to bring these little critters to life in stitches, each one perfectly framed by pretty, stylised floral wreaths. Worked on richly coloured navy fabric for added interest, each pattern uses whole cross stitches and backstitch only. They'll be fast to finish, making them an ideal make for beginners or for more advanced stitchers looking to break up a bigger project. When stitching, just remember to place a white cloth across your lap behind the aida - it's a handy trick for making the holes in the fabric much easier to see! These designs would add instant personality to your home - frame them in simple wooden hoops, like we did, or pop all three in a frame with a triple aperture mount. Or, if you can bear to part them, they'd make super gifts, too. Stitching Time: Approx. 7-8 hours each Type of Stitches: Cross stitch, backstitch Ease of Stitching: Beginner Shopping List: - Zweigart 14-count navy (589) aida measuring 25x25cm (9-3/4" x 9-3/4") for each design - Stranded cotton as listed in the key - Size 24 tapestry needle - Wooden embroidery hoops with a diameter measuring 12.5cm, (5") for each design.
