    Lowry street scene 14ct cross stitch kit by Bothy threadsWhat is in the  Lowry Street Scene Kit?

    The kit contains:
    14 count parchment Aida fabric
    Pre-sorted Stranded Cotton
    Size: 21 x 28cm (8.5 x 11″)

    This Lowry street scene kit was quite easy because there are large blocks of the same colour throughout. However, I still had to keep an eye on things because when you work with large blocks of colour, it’s so easy to get carried away and forget to allow for details such as the windows and doors. So you will need to keep a close eye on the pattern at all times. All the threads in the kit were as always of a good quality and easy to work with. The colour chart and stitch pattern was easy to follow. There’s also a lot of backstitching but as long as you follow the pattern closely it’s quite simple.
     
    I received the kit partially done on the left-hand side as shown below and discovered that the stitch count was slightly out so I notified the client about it. They requested that I leave what she had done already and adjust the pattern accordingly to match the two sides and centre.
