Bothy Threads Vision of Spring Counted Cross Stitch Kit XCC2

Stitch Vision of Spring, a counted cross stitch kit by Bothy Threads — tulips, daffodils and berries frame Henri Matisse's words 'There are always flowers for those who want to see them' in black script. A little stitcher's folklore: Matisse turned to cutting coloured paper into leaves and flowers in his last years, when illness kept him from painting at an easel. Why this kit: Chloe's Chateau's design, from the Bothy Threads Winter 2025 Collection, is stitched on colour-printed Aida, so the soft green ground is already in place. Kit includes: 14-count Zweigart Aida with a colour-printed background, pre-sorted stranded cottons, a needle and a clear stitch diagram and instructions. Stitches used: cross stitch, back stitch and two French knots. A frame is not included. Stitch the flowers and leaves in cross stitch, add the script and stems in back stitch, then finish with the two French knots. Finished size: 18×27 cm (7.1×10.6 in). An uplifting quote for a desk, hallway or friend who needs cheering.
