Garden Friends Counted Cross Stitch Kit by Merejka K-265

Stitch Garden Friends in vivid, lifelike detail with this Merejka counted cross-stitch kit — two plush teddy bears seated together on a garden bench, one in a straw sunhat and the other in denim overalls and a daisy headband, framed by clusters of pink hydrangeas. Worked on Zweigart 16-count ecru Aida fabric with premium DMC threads in 42 carefully matched shades, the design showcases Merejka's signature painterly style in soft pinks and denim blue.

Why this kit: the paired-bear composition gives the design instant charm for nursery or child's-room decor; two chart versions, with and without backstitch, let stitchers choose their preferred level of fur texture and clothing detail; the mid-sized finished format suits framing or gifting without a lengthy time commitment.

Kit includes: Zweigart canvas, DMC threads, John James needles, and a colour chart.

Counted cross-stitch is worked by following the printed color chart and placing each stitch on the gridded Aida fabric with the indicated DMC thread shade. The optional backstitch chart adds crisp definition to the bears' fur, paw pads, and clothing stitching. Work section by section until the design is complete, then frame as a sweet piece of nursery or gift wall art.

Finished size: 21x24.5 cm (8.27x9.65 in), an elegant mid-sized project ideal for framing or gifting. A charming project for stitchers who love a sentimental subject, and a sweet handmade gift for a nursery, baby shower, or child's room.
