It's a mini hand embroidery design, which makes it ideal for portability and limited time. The design fits in a 10cm (4") embroidery hoop, which enables it to easy slip into a small handbag.
In case you're not going to Italy in the nearest future, this design of the Florence Cathedral, will take you there. Stitch by stitch, your mind will travel to the heart of arts and culture in Florence. Furthermore, while embroidering, you will most likely find yourself to imagine what it would be like to be in Florence at that moment. Trust us, it happens every time we embroider a location we haven't yet traveled to!
