Black Eyed Susans and Phlox Counted Cross Stitch Kit by Merejka K-208

Stitch Black Eyed Susans and Phlox with this Merejka counted cross-stitch kit — a sun-drenched cluster of golden black-eyed susans and soft pink phlox, with a small sparrow perched on a slender stem at the edge of the bouquet. Worked on Zweigart 16-count white Aida fabric with premium DMC threads in 32 rich shades, the wide horizontal composition is rich in color, texture, and graceful detail.

Why this kit: 32 DMC shades separate the warm yellow petals from the cooler pink phlox clusters for realistic contrast; two chart versions — with and without backstitches — give control over the fine detail in the sparrow's feathers and flower centers; the wide, large-format layout makes a striking horizontal focal point rather than a typical square floral.

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

Counted cross-stitch is worked by following the colour chart and placing each stitch on the gridded Aida fabric with the indicated DMC thread shade. The backstitch version sharpens the outlines of the petals, leaves, and sparrow, while the no-backstitch version keeps a softer, blended look. Work section by section until the design is complete, then frame as an eye-catching wall display.

Finished size: 18x43 cm (7.09x16.93 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.
