Pattern description
This intermediate counted cross-stitch pattern captures a striking magenta lily in full bloom, rendered in 16 DMC thread colors across a 110 x 110 stitch count. The composition centers a richly saturated flower with deep burgundy and hot pink tones, balanced by soft cream highlights that create dimensional petals. Flanking green leaves add cool contrast and frame the explosive florals beautifully. The jewel-toned color palette makes this an ideal project for stitchers looking to expand beyond pastels into bolder, more dramatic needlework. Whether you're creating a statement piece for a modern living space or seeking a thoughtful handmade gift for a gardening enthusiast, this lily design translates beautifully to 14-count Aida fabric. The intermediate skill level suits stitchers comfortable with color changes and shading techniques, while the detailed petal work offers satisfying progress. The finished piece brings gallery-quality appeal to any room—perfect for framing as wall art or incorporating into home décor. A free printable PDF chart is available to help you source the exact DMC thread colors and begin your embroidery journey.
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.
