Cross Stitch Kit "Welcome"

“Welcome” shows three owls on a wooden sign, stitched on ecru canvas.

What the picture shows

The owls sit in a row and look straight at you: a green one on the left, a ginger one in spectacles in the middle, an ochre one on the right. They hold on to a brown board with the word “WELCOME” in yellow letters, and a branch with large green leaves arches above them. The stitching is kept to a patch in the centre, so the rest of the canvas stays open and serves as the background. Nine floss colours, plain solid fills with no shading. Each owl's plumage uses three or four shades, so the birds do not merge into one another even on the pale canvas.

The design is 140×140 mm and the canvas piece is larger, which leaves a margin for finishing. A subject like this hangs by the front door or in a hallway; the decorative hoop from the kit gives a ready round format, while a frame or glass is optional and bought separately. The chart is on paper but carries a QR code that transfers it into the SAGA app if that suits you better.
