A friendly golden-brown bear stands among green and mustard pine trees on this chunky cross stitch cushion kit from Belgium-based Vervaco. It's stitched with thick acrylic yarn on a hand-painted, large-hole canvas, so the colors are marked right on the canvas and the big stitches cover ground fast. A cheerful pillow for a child's room, and an easy first project for a new stitcher.

The kit covers the cushion front. Backing fabric and a pillow insert are not included.
