Poppies on a Meadow Floral Cross Stitch Cushion Kit by Orchidea 9123

Stitch Poppies on a Meadow, a cross stitch cushion kit by Orchidea — orange poppies and buds bloom among green leaves against a purple meadow haze.

A little stitcher's folklore: poppy seeds can lie in the soil for decades before they flower.

Why this kit: the design is printed on Zweigart canvas and worked in soft acrylic yarn with a gentle sheen, so it makes up into a hard-wearing 40 cm cushion.

Kit includes: Zweigart canvas printed with the design, 100% acrylic yarn in 14 colours, a chart, instructions and a needle. Stitch used: cross stitch. The cushion back and pad are not included; a matching cushion back with a zip (9000) is sold separately.

Stitch the design in cross stitch following the printed colours, then make it up into a cushion cover with a back of your choice.

Finished size: 40×40 cm (15.7×15.7 in). A cheerful cushion for a sofa or armchair.
