Framed Floral Picture

This is the first cross stitch project I ever made. I have been trying many simple designs but when I saw this one, I decided to do it. I hope you like it!

The design was a chart in "Attractive Cross Stitch Designs" published by Ondori. Here is the chart and colors (click on the image for a higher resolution version):

You will need:
- 45cm by 52cm cream java cloth (10cm of fabric = 35 square meshes)
- DMC 6-strand embroidery floss as follows:
3 skeins of 3689
2 skeins of 911-350-352
1.5 skeins of 761
1 skein of 471-321-349
1/2 skein of 815-304-948-347-937-469-470-472
- A frame
* The book is a bit old, so if the floss numbers have changed, do not worry. You can use the new ones.

Here is how it looked in the book:

Enjoy!
