Stitch a stunning floral composition with this Merejka counted cross-stitch kit — Lotus Dreams brings pink and gold lotus blossoms and broad lily pads to the foreground of a tranquil pond, with a dragonfly hovering above the water and a distant shoreline of red pagodas and willow trees. Worked on Zweigart 16-count ice blue Aida fabric using premium DMC threads in 42 carefully matched shades, this botanical design is rich in color, texture, and graceful detail.
Why this kit: 42 DMC shades separate the lotus petals, lily-pad greens, and reflective water for a layered, dimensional result; two backstitch chart options add crisp detail to the pagoda architecture and dragonfly or keep the scene soft; the wide-format composition balances a floral foreground with a scenic backdrop for broader appeal.
Kit includes: canvas, DMC threads, John James needles, and a detailed colour chart.
Counted cross-stitch is worked by following the detailed colour chart and placing each stitch on the gridded Aida fabric with the indicated DMC thread shade. Because both a with-backstitch and a without-backstitch version of the chart are included, the pagoda rooflines and dragonfly wings can be given crisp outlines or a softer, painted finish. Work section by section until the design is complete, then frame as a striking piece of wall art.
Finished size: 24x44 cm (9.45x17.32 in) — an impressive large-format design that becomes a striking focal point on any wall. An elegant project for home display and a thoughtful handmade gift for flower lovers and needlework enthusiasts.
