Pattern description
Perched above a soft, multicolored bloom rendered in lavender, pink, and green, this cross-stitch design combines delicate florals with a striking feathered subject. The bird features bold navy and teal plumage with a contrasting coral-pink underside, creating visual drama against the gentle pastel palette of the flowering plant below. With 86 x 86 stitches and 18 DMC thread colors, this intermediate-level pattern offers rewarding complexity without overwhelming beginners ready to expand their skills. The cool-toned color scheme makes this design ideal for modern or botanical-themed interiors, while the composition works beautifully as a framed needlework gift for nature lovers. Stitched on Aida fabric using the provided DMC palette, the pattern creates striking contrast between the vibrant bird and the understated floral base, resulting in a piece that commands attention without sacrificing elegance.
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.
