Pattern description

Capture the serene landscape of Quidi Vidi Lake with this intermediate 130x130 counted cross-stitch pattern featuring a peaceful shoreline composition. Worked across 30 DMC thread colors, the design balances soft blue-grey skies with earthy greens and sand tones, creating a cool, naturalistic mood that feels both grounding and restful. The layered landscape—distant hills, calm water, and foreground meadow—guides the eye through a gentle scenic progression ideal for needleworkers ready to tackle subtle color blending and varied stitch density without overwhelming complexity.

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.
