Pattern description
This 135×135 stitch counted cross-stitch pattern captures a noble bald eagle in profile against a soft periwinkle sky. The white head and neck contrast beautifully with dark brown wings, while a warm golden yellow beak adds character and depth to the design. Working with 17 DMC thread colors at intermediate skill level, stitchers will appreciate the gentle color transitions that bring dimension to the bird's plumage without overwhelming complexity. The cool-toned blue background creates a serene backdrop that makes this eagle motif perfect for patriotic displays, nature-themed rooms, or wildlife enthusiasts' collections. On standard Aida fabric, this square design stitches into a balanced composition that works equally well framed as wall art or incorporated into larger needlework projects. Its straightforward profile angle and moderate stitch count make it an accessible challenge for stitchers moving beyond beginner projects.
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.
