Pattern description
A symphony of colorful blooms erupts from an elegant blue vase in this counted cross-stitch pattern. Six tulips in magenta, red, orange, yellow, purple, and pale blue create a striking focal point, while delicate green stems and leaves complete the botanical composition. At 114 x 114 stitches, this intermediate-level needlework project balances complexity with accessibility, making it ideal for stitchers ready to expand their skills.
The 26 DMC thread colors combine rich jewel tones with soft pastels, producing a sophisticated palette that transitions beautifully from cool teals and blues in the vase to warm sunset hues in the blossoms. Whether framed as springtime decor, gifted to celebrate a special occasion, or treasured as a timeless floral keepsake, this cross-stitch design adapts effortlessly to any room. The chart translates perfectly onto standard Aida fabric, with the detailed color palette ensuring stunning depth and visual interest with every completed stitch.
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.
