Cross Stitch Kit "Heart of Summer" Tomato Tela Artis X-359

Create a unique handmade accessory with the 3D figure cross stitch kit Tomato "Heart of Summer" from the Ukrainian brand Tela Artis. This bright, juicy design by Alina Hetman will become not only a luxurious decoration for your creative corner but also a convenient and stylish pincushion. Thanks to the premium hand-dyed variegated floss, each of your stitches will form a unique lace ornament on a rich red background.

Why this kit will bring you immense joy:

• A wealth of techniques: In addition to the classic cross stitch, the exquisite pattern is created using contrasting backstitch and elegant fan stitches.
• Exclusive accessories: The piece is adorned with incredible details: a realistic handcrafted ceramic stem, a miniature ceramic pendant in the shape of a tomato half, textured wool thread, and beads.
