Pattern description

This 169 x 169 stitch counted cross stitch pattern captures a warm summer landscape with striking visual drama. Bold purple and blue flowers with golden centers dominate the composition, their rich jewel tones contrasting beautifully against the warm orange and golden backdrop. The color palette blends sunset warmth with cool floral hues, creating an emotionally engaging needlework project that balances vibrant contrasts.

With 30 DMC thread colors and an advanced skill level, this pattern demands attention to detail and color accuracy across 28,561 individual stitches. The complexity lies in managing the subtle color transitions throughout the background and flower petals, particularly where warm amber tones shift into deeper orange and russet hues. Stitched on standard Aida fabric with the included DMC color chart, this piece rewards patient needleworkers with a stunning framed art piece or home accent that evokes the warmth of golden-hour garden moments.

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.
