Border Of Flowers

Nature & PlantsBeginner10 colours20 hours of stitching

This delightful pattern brings together a lively row of flowers in warm reds, golden yellows, and vivid blues, all set against a crisp white background. Sunflowers, poppies, and smaller blossoms sit side by side with touches of bright green foliage, creating a cheerful botanical border full of colour and character.

It is a wonderful choice for anyone who enjoys floral needlework, and the finished piece looks lovely when framed as a splash of natural colour on the wall or tucked into a gift for someone special.

CXC and Sullivans skeins carry the DMC number, so the codes above cover them too.

These lengths include the thread lost to tails and travelling, so they are what to buy rather than what ends up on the fabric. A spare skein of your main colours is still worth having, because dye lots vary between batches and matching one part way through is the hard part.

HobbyTub also converts to Ariadna, CXC, Gamma, Luca-S and Sullivans. Pick your brand when you start the project.
