Bird of Paradise Hummingbird Counted Cross-Stitch Kit by Abris Art AH-203

Stitch Bird of Paradise, a counted cross-stitch kit by Abris Art — a rainbow-coloured hummingbird in teal, blue, pink and orange hovers inside a golden circle, beside yellow, pink and purple blooms, its long wings and a leafy wreath traced in fine white outline on lilac-grey fabric. Worked on 100% cotton Aida in 40 colours of floss.

A little stitcher's folklore: in the Americas the hummingbird is a messenger of joy and good luck, and a hummingbird visiting you is said to mean someone you love is thinking of you. Stitchers say this one brings joy into the room every time you look at it.

Why this kit: if you love modern, graphic designs, this mix of vivid colour and fine outline work is striking and fun to stitch. It's a satisfying project for confident beginners. A lovely gift for bird lovers.

Kit includes: 100% cotton Aida canvas, a cross stitch needle, 40 colours of embroidery floss on an organizer, a printed symbol chart, and instructions in 8 languages.

Counted cross stitch is worked by following the symbol chart and placing each cross on the Aida grid with the matching floss colour. Stitch the hummingbird and flowers, then add the fine outline details.

Finished size: 23×24 cm (9.06×9.45 in). Joyful modern wall art and a thoughtful gift.
