This is such a wonderfully enjoyable project to stitch, celebrating the natural world around us as the year waxes and wanes and the months progress from spring to summer, autumn and winter, then round again, completing the circle of the year.

This wheel of the year is divided into twelve months and four seasons and within each month you'll discover a design representing that month and what we can see around us at that time of year, whether that's November's curious fox, April's cheerful chicken, a Halloween pumpkin or two delightfully refreshing ice lollies for July. Stitching this wheel offers you a creative way to embrace mindfulness, slow down a little and reconnect with the natural world around you.

The centre of the wheel has been left blank for you to personalise your design - perhaps with a name, date or another image unique to you.

This listing is for a plain cotton panel (156gsm) printed with the full wheel of the year design. I have finished the edges of your panel for you by serging (overlocking) them so it won't fray when you're stitching and you'll be able to begin straight away.

You will also receive a printed booklet with full details of how to stitch your design including DMC floss colours and stitches used. The finished project displays beautifully in a 13" hoop (not included)

As an extra bonus when you receive your panel you will be able to download two further digital files - a stitch dictionary explaining how to work the less common stitches and an illustrated almanac taking you around the English country year as well as lots of additional photographs to help you make your wheel the nicest it can be!

Please note, this listing is for the printed panel and additional resources to enable you to stitch your own wheel of the year and not the finished item.
