★★★★★ A sun-drenched summer afternoon in the Italian hills
A wicker picnic basket full of fresh bread, a bottle of wine, and blue and white checkered napkins stands ready among the sunflowers. In the background, the Tuscan hills roll gently with cypress trees and a terracotta farmhouse; fresh lemons and blueberries lie on a checkered tablecloth. An impression that brings every warm summer day into your home.
Why this cross-stitch kit?
The color palette is a cheerful mix of warm yellow, terracotta, green, and blue – pure Southern European summer. With 22 thread colors, the details of the sunflower seeds, the wicker weave of the basket, and the Tuscan landscape are beautifully brought to life. A lovely project for both beginners and experienced embroiderers.
Who is this embroidery kit for?
A beloved gift for wine lovers, Italy fans, and anyone who appreciates Mediterranean charm. Give it as a housewarming gift for a new kitchen or as a birthday present for a foodie. Or embroider it yourself for your dining room or kitchen – a warm Italian accent that always brings a holiday vibe.
What's included in this cross-stitch kit?
- Pre-printed 11CT embroidery canvas – symbols and color numbers are already on the canvas, so no counting needed
- 22 colors of premium eco-cotton thread (Huacan) – stronger and more colorfast than standard thread, less prone to breaking
- Two gold-plated cross-stitch needles in a handy protective case
- Step-by-step instructions in Dutch, also suitable for beginners
- Printed symbol overview as a reference during embroidering
Which size is right for me?
The smallest size (20×30 cm) is a nice weekend project. 40×50 cm (our most popular size) is ideal for framing in a dining room or kitchen – especially beautiful next to a wooden cabinet or above a sideboard. Larger sizes (from 60×80 cm) become a striking eye-catcher with much detail in the landscape.
Please note: the physical kit is supplied in 30×40, 40×50 or 50×70 cm. Other sizes will be received as a digital pattern (PDF download).
Prefer just the pattern?
Then choose the digital PDF version (€14.95). You will receive the pattern via email within 24–48 hours – handy if you already have embroidery materials at home or want to create your own color scheme.
