Pattern description
This 90x90 stitch counted cross stitch pattern captures the essence of fall with overlapping leaves rendered in rich golds, warm oranges, and deep rustic reds. The composition focuses on organic leaf shapes and natural layering, creating depth through careful color transitions from bright yellow highlights to muted burgundy shadows. The palette blends 32 DMC thread colors into a harmonious autumnal mood that radiates warmth and seasonal beauty.
An advanced-skill needlework project, Golden Autumn demands attention to color blending and shading techniques to achieve its realistic leaf texture and dimensional quality.

The warm tones and naturalistic subject matter make it particularly fitting for autumn months and harvest-themed interiors.
