Pattern description
This counted cross-stitch pattern brings together an abundant harvest of fruits in a bold, richly saturated palette. A draped magenta fabric anchors the composition at top, while yellow bananas, deep purple grapes, crimson apples, and raspberry-red berries tumble across a cream background—creating a still-life arrangement with genuine depth and visual weight. The 102×102 stitch count and 29 DMC thread colors offer an engaging intermediate challenge.
Stitching this design on 14-count Aida will produce a finished piece roughly 7.3×7.3 inches, perfect for framing or decorating a kitchen. The warm, fruit-market color story—rich purples, golden yellows, and jewel-toned reds—makes it ideal for food-lovers and kitchen décor enthusiasts alike. This pattern works equally well as a charming gift or a personal heirloom needlework project.
