Fabulous feathers
The call of a tropical toucan – or two- has caught our attention here at
Crazy, followed by the delightful hoot
of a peacock. These colourful birds are
just two of the latest kits from Heritage
Crafts’ Karen Carter Collection. Both
designs are great choices for
mounting on canvases or
in frames as they measure
14.5x19.5cm (5¾x7½in)
when stitched on 14-count
aida. You can pick up either kit - or both! – for £23.75 each
and get ever ything you need
to start stitching. You’ll use
whole stitches and backstitch
throughout to create a vibrant
combination of colours!
