Chasing Morning Light Counted Cross Stitch Kit by Merejka K-269

Bring a breathtaking scene to life with this Merejka counted cross-stitch kit — Chasing Morning Light frames a riverside plaza beneath a towering tree turning gold and green, with cafe tables and red umbrellas, pigeons underfoot, a small dog trotting past, and a cyclist with a basket of flowers riding along the water's edge. Stitched on Zweigart 16-count white Aida fabric using premium DMC threads in 40 carefully matched shades, this landscape design showcases Merejka's photorealistic style in vivid thread.

Why this kit: 40 DMC shades render the shifting autumn foliage and reflective river water with real depth; the two backstitch chart options give crisp architectural lines to the buildings and bicycle or a softer painted look; the busy, story-filled composition rewards close attention stitch by stitch.

Kit includes: canvas, DMC threads, John James needles, and a detailed colour chart.

Please note: The pattern is provided in digital format only. No printed paper pattern is included

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. With backstitch and no-backstitch chart versions both included, the fine details of the tree bark, cafe furniture, and cyclist can be outlined sharply or left soft and blended. Work section by section until the design is complete, then frame as a striking piece of wall art.

Finished size: 29x39 cm (11.42x15.35 in), creating a generous artwork that looks stunning when framed. An excellent project for experienced stitchers who appreciate the detail and depth of Merejka's scenic designs.
