For when you have a few projects behind you: many colors and soft shading, made from a picture. Free to stitch for yourself, as a gift, or to sell the finished piece.

Stitching tip: Hiroshige’s red sky is one flat band at the top, and the dark plum trunk crosses the whole print. Stitch the trunk first, then the white blossoms along it.
