Tulips Spring Bouquet Stamped Cross Stitch Kit by Orchidea 7517

Stitch Tulips, a stamped cross stitch kit by Orchidea — a bunch of red tulips with green leaves.

A little stitcher's folklore: tulips reached western Europe from the Ottoman Empire in the 16th century.

Why this kit: the design is printed on the aida, so there is no chart to count, which makes it an ideal first cross stitch.

Kit includes: Zweigart aida printed with the design, Ariadna 6-strand cotton floss in 8 colours, instructions and a needle. Stitch used: cross stitch. A frame is not included.

Stitch over the printed crosses, one colour at a time, starting from the centre of the design.

Finished size: 11×11 cm (4.3×4.3 in). A quick project to frame as a small picture.
