{"product_id":"winter-pines-mini-wall-hanging-cross-stitch-kit","title":"Winter Pines Mini Wall Hanging Cross Stitch Kit","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Winter Pines cross stitch folk embroidery kit is inspired by a vintage needlework pattern I found in Greece. My family has long enjoyed skiing in the Cascade Mountains, and this cheery little design reminds me of quiet mornings on the mountain when the snow is fresh and we're heading out for our ski patrol and mountain hosting duties (the little cross on the skier's jacket is optional). I've echoed the forest setting with an outer border of little mountains and pine trees, stitched in classic red, pine green, and black on white Mikini. It finishes as a mini wall hanging on a beechwood tapestry rod, a style common in Greece and a beautiful alternative to displaying in an embroidery hoop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat you'll make:\u003c\/strong\u003e One 5-1\/2 x 7-1\/4\" mini wall hanging\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's in your kit:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne 8 x 10\" piece of 30ct 100% cotton Mikini in white\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne 8 x 10\" piece of cotton lining fabric\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDMC 6-strand embroidery floss\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJohn James size 24 cross stitch needle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6\" beechwood tapestry rod\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull color chart and instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStitches used:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cross stitch, backstitch\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSkill level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Beginner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStitch count:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2,250 cross stitches, 22 backstitches (80 x 80 stitch area)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat does \"beginner\" mean for this kit?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can start here with no cross stitch experience at all.
