This design has a stitch count of 71w x 105h and uses full crosses over two, long backstitches and French Knots. The model was stitched using two strands of floss over two threads of linen, except where noted. It is suitable for beginners to advanced stitchers, and can be stitched on linen, Aida or evenweave of any count that you prefer. Stitched in the beautiful Bookshelf Edit - by Cottage Garden Threads, and has a full DMC conversion. Model stitched on 32-count ‘Antique Ivory’ by Zweigart. I’ve framed it in a standard 6x8 inch frame.
"Originally in the wonderful magazine ‘Homespun Australia’, this design depicts the blooming of the Hakea – beautiful little native pincushion-like flowers, and the Zebra Finches that like to feed on them. I hope stitching it brings some Springtime joy to you" - Joanna Kabanoff Designer
