Pattern description
This 150×150 stitch pattern captures a sun-drenched field of golden sunflowers beneath a brilliant blue sky dotted with white clouds. The composition places a large bloom prominently in the center, with smaller flowers graduating into the background, creating natural depth and movement. At 29 DMC thread colors, the intermediate-level pattern balances color complexity with achievable stitch counts, making it ideal for stitchers ready to move beyond basic designs while still maintaining manageable progress. Perfect for summer décor or as a gift for gardening enthusiasts, this needlework evokes the warmth and cheerfulness of Van Gogh's celebrated florals. The bright yellow petals, rich green foliage, and expansive sky create an uplifting mood that brightens any room. Stitched on 14-count Aida fabric with included DMC floss, the finished piece becomes a striking framed heirloom celebrating nature's most iconic bloom.
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.
