Pattern description
This horizontal needlework features a repeating arrangement of bold red flowers with white centers and contrasting yellow stamens, interspersed with delicate sprays of grain and feathery green foliage. The composition creates a classic botanical stripe perfect for framing a larger piece or adorning the top and bottom edges of a cross-stitch project.
The 256 x 256 stitch count employs 25 DMC thread colors to achieve depth and dimension in the floral design. Advanced stitchers will appreciate the intricate color blending and detailed leaf work that bring the wildflower motif to life. This pattern works beautifully on 14-count Aida fabric and translates wonderfully to home décor borders, table runners, or framed sampler accents. The warm palette of reds, golds, and sage greens adds rustic charm suitable for farmhouse or cottage-style embroidery 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.
