Pattern description
A striking counted cross stitch cushion design featuring a bold red and turquoise color palette with symmetrical floral motifs. The decorative border frames the piece with intricate ornamental details at each corner, while vertical flourishes anchor the sides. At just 225 x 225 stitches, this pattern works up into a perfectly proportioned 8-9 inch finished square ideal for cushion projects.
The advanced skill level reflects the precision required to execute the intricate details and maintain crisp color contrast between the two DMC thread colors throughout the design. Stitchers appreciate the meditative quality of the geometric floral repeats, which work beautifully on 14-count or 16-count Aida fabric. This jewel-toned combination makes an exceptional heirloom piece for traditional home décor, period interiors, or as a treasured handmade gift that celebrates classic needlework artistry and timeless design sensibilities.
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.
