Summer Muse Dragonfly and Lotus Counted Cross-Stitch Kit by Abris Art AH-278

Stitch Summer Muse, a counted cross-stitch kit by Abris Art — a shimmering dragonfly with blue and violet wings hangs beneath a lilac lotus flower, with pastel leaves and delicate beaded tassels dangling below like a dreamcatcher, on white canvas. Worked on 100% cotton Aida in 19 colours of floss, with glass beads and metallic thread.

A little stitcher's folklore: in Japan the dragonfly is a symbol of courage and victory, and the lotus rises pure from muddy water as a sign of rebirth. Stitchers say this summer muse brings inspiration, calm and a fresh start.

Why this kit: if you love boho, dreamy designs, this dragonfly is light, elegant and sparkles with beads and metallic thread. A satisfying project for confident beginners, and a lovely gift for yoga and nature lovers.

Kit includes: 100% cotton Aida canvas, a cross stitch needle, 19 colours of embroidery floss on an organizer, glass beads and a beading needle, decorative metallic thread, 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 lotus and dragonfly first, then the leaves, and add the beaded tassels last.

Finished size: 24×34 cm (9.45×13.39 in). Boho wall art and a thoughtful gift.
