Pattern description
This counted cross stitch design captures a celebratory mood through its rich color palette and classic floral composition. A vibrant blue vase bursting with multicolored blossoms—golden yellows, coral pinks, and deep purples—creates a sophisticated yet cheerful focal point, while the red script text anchors the greeting. The 27 DMC thread colors deliver depth and dimension, making this intermediate-level project a rewarding stitching experience on 14-count Aida fabric at 116 x 116 stitches.
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.
