Pattern description
A cascade of red and golden maple leaves drifts across a misty white sky in this 128 x 128 stitch counted cross stitch pattern. The composition captures the ephemeral beauty of autumn, with leaves in varying stages of descent rendered in rich warm hues—deep crimsons, burnt oranges, and muted golds—against cream and soft gray tones that evoke an overcast fall day.
With 29 DMC thread colors and intermediate skill level, this needlework offers enough complexity to keep experienced stitchers engaged without overwhelming beginners ready to advance their craft. The pattern works beautifully on standard Aida fabric and translates perfectly as a wall hanging for seasonal décor or a meaningful gift celebrating autumn's quiet majesty. The warm palette and transitional imagery make it equally suitable for display throughout fall and early winter, capturing that bittersweet moment when summer fades into cooler months.
Stitch planning checklist
- Measure your fabric against the stitch count to confirm finished size.
- Sort floss by symbol before you start; pre-thread a few needles for speed.
- Work in small blocks to keep counting accurate and spot mistakes early.
- Backstitch at the end of each session so outlines stay crisp.
