Pattern description
A vibrant arrangement of ruby-red and golden-yellow tulips springs from a deep cobalt blue vase in this charming 133×133 stitch counted cross-stitch design. The composition balances warm blooms against cool vessel tones, creating visual depth that draws the eye upward through the graceful stems and leafy greenery.
With 27 DMC thread colors and intermediate skill level, this pattern offers rewarding complexity without overwhelming needleworkers. The piece works beautifully on 14-count Aida fabric, producing a finished design ideal for framing or display in any room. The classic tulip motif carries timeless appeal, making it equally suited as a spring refresh or thoughtful handmade gift. Rich jewel tones throughout—particularly the saturated reds and muted yellow petals—ensure the finished embroidery radiates warmth and cottage charm that complements both traditional and contemporary décor.
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.
