Coastal Boats Harbour Reflections Counted Cross Stitch Kit by RTO M1083

Stitch Coastal Boats, a counted cross stitch kit by RTO — blue and white sailing boats are moored in a calm harbour beside old stone buildings, their tall masts and hulls reflected in the still water. Worked in 46 colours of DMC stranded cotton on 14-count white Aida.

A little stitcher's folklore: sailors painted their boats blue to keep the sea calm and the sailors safe. Stitchers say these boats will always come home.

Why this kit: if you love harbours and boats, this peaceful waterside scene is a rewarding stitch full of reflections. A lovely gift for sailors and seaside lovers.

Kit includes: 14-count white Zweigart Aida (100% cotton), DMC stranded cotton in 46 colours, a needle, a colour symbol chart and instructions. A frame and hoop are not included.

Start with the blue boat hulls and masts, then the stone buildings. Finish with the long reflections in the water and the sky.

Finished size: 21.5×28.5 cm (8.46×11.22 in). A peaceful harbour picture to frame and a lovely gift for sailors.
