Pattern description
This 122×122 stitch counted cross-stitch pattern features a horizontal arrangement of bold red blossoms with lush green foliage, creating a vibrant botanical border ideal for framing artwork or embellishing home textiles. The composition flows naturally from left to right, making it perfect for edging pillowcases, table runners, or samplers that celebrate the warmth of a traditional floral aesthetic.
At intermediate skill level, stitchers will appreciate the 22 DMC thread colors that bring dimension to each flower and leaf. The bright red tones pop against the crisp white background, while the varied shades of green create natural depth in the foliage, requiring careful attention to color placement without overwhelming complexity for experienced needleworkers.
Whether stitched on 14-count Aida fabric or adapted to your preferred count, this pattern suits anyone seeking a cheerful, garden-inspired project that completes in a reasonable timeframe. Gift this finished piece to brighten a kitchen or bedroom, or stitch it as a decorative accent for seasonal displays when you want to bring cottage-garden charm into your home décor.
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.
