When Winter Blows Cold Snowy Cottage Bead Embroidery Kit by Abris Art AB-892

Bead a cosy winter cottage with When Winter Blows Cold, a bead embroidery kit by Abris Art — a steep-roofed cottage heaped with snow, its windows glowing warm and its eaves trimmed with green garlands, nestled in a frosty blue forest. Worked with over 6,950 Preciosa Ornela Czech glass beads in 26 colours.

A little stitcher's folklore: there's a well-loved needlework omen — stitch a house and you'll have a home of your own — and a light in the window on a winter night was always a welcome for travellers. Stitchers say this cottage keeps the home warm, whatever the weather outside.

Why this kit: if you love cosy winter scenes, this glowing cottage is pure comfort to bead on long evenings. It's a satisfying project for confident beginners. A lovely Christmas or housewarming gift.

Kit includes: natural art canvas pre-printed with the design, over 6,950 Preciosa Ornela Czech glass beads in 26 colours, a Japanese beading needle, a numbered key chart, and instructions in 8 languages. Beading thread, frame and hoop are not included.

Each bead is sewn onto its colour-marked spot on the printed canvas. Bead the glowing windows and cottage first, then the snow and forest.

Finished size: 25×28 cm (9.84×11.02 in). Cosy winter decor and a thoughtful gift.
