Zestaw do haftu krzyżykowego „Miłość wisi w powietrzu”

“Love is in the air” shows a striped hot-air balloon floating above a row of small houses.

What the picture shows

The main balloon is worked in horizontal bands of pink, coral, green and yellow, and the word LOVE is stitched across its middle between two hearts, in English. A woven basket hangs below it on thin lines. Two more balloons appear on the left as bare outlines in pale beige and white, as if far off in the haze. A row of old houses with steep roofs and turrets is drawn along the bottom in a thin line, with a pink band beneath them. Small hearts are scattered across the ground. Fourteen floss colours go mostly into the main balloon, while the rest of the piece rests on outlines. The light blue Aida stays as the sky and is left unstitched. The balloon sits in the upper right quarter, leaving plenty of open air between it and the houses.
