Adorned with buttons, bows and foliage galore, this fabulous, fabric-inspired wreath is dressed to impress! Fancy taking on a stitchy challenge this festive season? Then look no further than Amanda's spectacular wreath cushion. Even if you've already decked the halls to within an inch of their life, we're sure you can find room on your sofa for this stylish make. Not least as it means you'll get to show it off to a whole host of visitors! With a perfect crafty-theme, it's inspired by festive fabrics and embellishments. It's so filled with variety... the shading, pretty prints, and different decorations adorning the wreath itself. Plus, it's using a beautiful, timeless Christmassy colour palette you'll love. In fact, we think the main challenge you'll have will be putting your needle down at the end of each stitchy session! Choose to stitch it onto antique white evenweave, (see our Shopping List on page 40), and you'll make up your cushion using the soft evenweve itself, with your striking festive wreath taking centre stage. Stitching Time: Approx. 60 hours Type of Stitches: Cross stitch, fractionals, backstitch Ease of Stitching: Intermediate/advanced Shopping List: - Zweigart 28-count antique white evenweave measuring 40x40cm (15-3/4" x 15-3/4") - Stranded cotton as listed in the key - Size 26 tapestry needle - Backing fabric of your choice, and cushion pad measuring 30x30cm (12x12"), both from local stores
