Pattern description
A classic symbol of romance blooms in this counted cross-stitch design, where a deep red rose nestles within a luminous heart. The composition merges two powerful motifs—the flower of love and the heart itself—creating a design rich with romantic meaning. With 28 DMC thread colors and an intermediate skill level, this 55 x 55 stitch project rewards patient needleworkers with depth and dimension.
Stitched in warm jewel tones and rich crimsons, the rose's petals unfold with remarkable detail against the glowing background. The green sepals and leaves ground the design naturally, while the heart form creates an ideal focal point for any Valentine's Day gift or keepsake.
Perfect for framing or incorporating into pillows, greeting cards, or gift bags, this pattern suits intermediate stitchers looking for a meaningful seasonal project. The medium stitch count makes it manageable for an afternoon or weekend of focused needlework, ideal for creating handmade expressions of affection before Valentine's Day or any occasion celebrating love.
