12 Months of Cross Stitch Kit

Royal Horticultural Society
Create a year of flowers with a pretty set of 12 counted cross stitch mini kits; each designed to chime with the seasons and create a dainty embroidery for each month of the year. Inspired by botanical treasures in the collection of the Society’s Lindley Library, sew snowdrops in January; tulips in April; a rose in August; a poinsettia in December; and more. Presented in a keepsake, greenhouse-shaped gift box, each floral kit is packed in a seed packet-inspired envelope and includes Aida fabric; sorted, six-thread embroidery skeins; colour charted instructions; and a needle. Brief instructions for cross stitch, half stitch, back stitch and French knots are also included to be used for completing the projects. Make each kit and display as miniature pictures or to decorate greetings cards; once you have mastered the designs, combine the floral patterns to create your own floral masterpieces. A soothing pastime for beginner or keen stitchers to enjoy all year round.
