Red Poppy Banner
CROSS STITCH PATTERN, DESIGNED BY Perrette Samouiloff
Here's a cheerful Red Poppy Banner, designed by Perrette Samouiloff. The cross stitch pattern features a lovely vertical border of red poppies and wild grass. To the right are children that have come back from a walk in the fields. A little girl is pushing a wheelbarrow, another one is carrying a huge basket full of flowers and yet another has come across some apples. A tiny little one is whispering some secret to her bigger brother. It's summer. Everyone is having fun. Life is good!
The stitched piece can easily be mounted as a banner with a simple piece of wood at each end and a pretty ribbon to hang the top part.
Regarding the fabric color for the background, you can stitch this pattern on either natural linen or white/cream colored fabric (see below right).
