Stitching time (estimate)
≈ 3–7 hours per design
That's roughly 1–2 weeks at about 5 hours of stitching a week. Just a rough idea: we assume an average of 100–200 stitches an hour, and everyone stitches at their own pace.
Christmas gift ideas →Nine original cross stitch patterns for cottagecore and goblincore fans, all starring the same cute green frog in a sage, cream, blush, toadstool-red and mossy-green palette: Frog Under a Toadstool, Frog on a Mushroom, Frog and Snail, Frog with a Strawberry, Frog in a Teacup, Frog Reading, Frog with Lily Pad Hat, Mushroom Cluster and Sleeping Frog. A frog under a red toadstool, a frog on a mushroom, a frog with a snail friend, a frog holding a strawberry, a frog in a teacup, a frog reading a tiny book, a frog with a lily pad hat, a mushroom cluster with moss and a frog sleeping on a leaf each sit on a soft round or arched backdrop.
Stitch one frog for a small hoop, a pin, a card or a bookmark, or stitch several together as a woodland sampler. An easy, quick project for beginners and for every frog and mushroom lover. Tip: the motifs show best on white, cream, ivory or light linen Aida. An original House of Needelier design, ready to download and start stitching today.
