 🧵 Stitching Experience
This pattern is a lovely choice for stitchers who enjoy small-to-medium projects with a little more character and detail. The compact size makes it approachable without sacrificing the beautiful variations of color that bring the hen and her nest to life.

The lettering and individual eggs provide easy sections to work through, while the hen and nest offer a more engaging area for stitchers who enjoy watching a detailed image gradually appear
