Whispers of Summer Counted Cross Stitch Kit by Merejka K-276

Create the beautiful Whispers of Summer with this Merejka counted cross-stitch kit — a sunlit coastal village of terracotta rooftops and cypress trees spreads out below distant mountains, framed by a wrought-iron lamppost draped in climbing pink roses and a stone path where a girl pauses with her bicycle. Worked on Zweigart 16-count white Aida fabric using premium DMC threads in 43 carefully matched shades, this design showcases Merejka's characteristic precision and painterly detail.

Why this kit: 43 DMC shades carry the scene from sea-blue horizon to sun-warmed rooftops and rose-pink blooms; two backstitch chart options let you sharpen the architecture and figures or keep a softer look; the large-format composition turns the finished piece into a genuine focal point.

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. Because both a with-backstitch and a without-backstitch version of the chart are included, the roofline details, lamppost ironwork, and climbing roses can be given crisp outlines or a softer, blended finish. Work section by section until the design is complete, then frame as a striking piece of wall art.

Finished size: 43.5x25 cm (17.13x9.84 in) — an impressive large-format design that becomes a striking focal point on any wall. A rewarding project for experienced stitchers and a thoughtful handmade gift for needlework enthusiasts.
