Mill Hill MH14-2014 White Orchid
A stunning closeup of a white and pink orchid features in this fully inclusive counted cross stitch kit from Mill Hill. The cross stitch is further embellished with beaded embroidery and a hand-painted ceramic flower button is included to embellish your frame. This delightful design is part of Mill Hill's "Button and Beaded" series of 2022 Spring kits, and makes a lovely project for you to keep, or gift to a friend.
This package contains glass beads, a ceramic button, 14 count perforated paper, cotton stranded embroidery floss, needles, chartered design and full instructions. Perfectly suited to be finished with a Mill Hill hand-painted frame, which you can find here.
If you have not worked on perforated paper before, this may be of interest- perforated paper dates back to the Victorian era, and has been used by needleworkers to create embroidered pieces to be used as cards and ornaments. This paper is extremely firm and resists tearing but can be cut with scissors or a craft knife. Wrinkles can be removed using a warm iron.
Finished size: 13.4cm x 13.4cm.
Made in USA.
