Designer: Mill Hill
Manufacturer: Mill Hill
Item: MH18-7303
Type: Cross Stitch Kits

Kit includes: glass beads, glass or crystal treasures, perforated paper/pvc, floss, needles, pin back and chart with instructions. Finished size: 2" x 2.75"

While we still have kits in stock with Perforated Paper, newer Mill Hill kits are now being made with Perforated PVC. We were skeptical at first, but here's what our testing has revealed so far:

1. Perforated PVC looks and feels nearly identical to perforated paper, and nothing like plastic canvas. It's sturdy and easy to hold, and is slightly harder to bend.

2. Our needle and thread glide just as smoothly through the new PVC as they do through paper, and finished stitches on both materials look nearly identical.

3. The new PVC is some sturdy stuff. It's much harder to tear than the paper, so you can pull your threads as tight as you want without having to worry about deforming holes or ripping. We also expect the PVC to be more resistant to decay and yellowing.

All in all, while (like many in the community) we were originally hesitant about this change, our first impressions have been very positive.

I was happy to receive this kit... but it looks like it will be a challenge... which is just what I might need.

Love the design with the special floss. I completed one other in the set and had to have this one.

i stitched mill hill's "downy dove" a few months ago, and i knew i had to stitch his companion, christmas cardinal ! this project took about two days and is just adorable !

5 stars out of 5 from United States Tiny United States flag on 11/03/2021 - Prettier than the picture!
The picture showed it much darker than it is! The cardinal it a brute red and really stands out!

I made two sets of the cardinals. It was relatively easy to do. This item has 3 parts, the body, 2 wings, and the holly leaves. These can be either sewn or glued to the body of the cardinal. I chose to use craft glue which works well. The end product is super cute and does not even need the orange fuzzy friend behind the top of the bird. However it does add an extra pizzazz.

This is one of my favorite MillHill kits thatThis cute little cardinal works up quick, another great Mill Hill kit. The picture on the package does not do it justice. I am going to use it as an ornament.

Love this little guy. Have them in my yard all the time. He is very cute and bright.

5 stars out of 5 from United States Tiny United States flag on 01/24/2017 - Really cute!
I have always loved Mill Hill kits, but this was one of my favorites. The estaz on the cardinal's wings and head really make the project have a whole new dimension. As always, the pictures don't do it justice!
