Pattern description
At 81 × 81 stitches, this intermediate-level counted cross-stitch pattern features three vibrant blooms—red, golden yellow, and magenta—arranged in a graceful ceramic urn. The bold jewel-tone palette and classic symmetrical composition make this a striking standalone piece or charming accent for any room. The elongated vase shape and structured stem work create visual balance that appeals to stitchers seeking elegant floral needlework.
Worked in 18 DMC thread colors, this design suits stitchers with foundational cross-stitch experience who want a project with satisfying visual impact without overwhelming complexity. The moderate stitch count allows completion in a reasonable timeframe while demanding enough precision to feel rewarding. On 14-count Aida fabric, the finished piece measures approximately 5.75 inches square.
Consider this pattern for spring and summer displays, as a thoughtful handmade gift, or as a decorative element in a gallery wall arrangement. The rich magenta vase ground works beautifully against white linen backgrounds, and the bright floral colors photograph exceptionally well. Stitchers appreciate how the project's ornamental border frame creates a naturally polished appearance without additional finishing techniques.
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.
