Pattern description
A classic floral arrangement rendered in rich jewel tones—deep crimson, vibrant magenta, and soft rose pink blooms overflow a woven brown basket, framed by trailing ivy and leafy stems. This 130×130 stitch intermediate pattern combines 23 DMC thread colors to create remarkable depth and dimension, with the darker basket providing visual weight that anchors the composition while the lighter pink flowers create luminous focal points.
The counted cross-stitch design works beautifully on Aida fabric and suits stitchers ready to manage color transitions and layered petals with confidence. Gift this framed piece to flower enthusiasts or display it as a focal point in a traditional or cottage-style room—the warm yet sophisticated palette bridges both rustic and refined décor sensibilities, making it equally at home in a country kitchen or formal parlor.
