Summer K-279A Counted Cross-Stitch Kit

Create the beautiful Summer with this Merejka counted cross-stitch kit — a golden wheat field stretches toward a cluster of red-roofed farm buildings tucked among trees, while a dirt path lined with poppies and wildflowers leads the eye through the scene under a dramatic sky streaked with a flock of birds in flight. Worked on Zweigart 16-count white Aida fabric using premium DMC threads in 36 carefully matched shades, this design showcases Merejka's characteristic precision and painterly detail.

Why this kit: 36 DMC shades separate the golden wheat, stormy sky, and poppy-red accents for real contrast; two backstitch chart options let you sharpen the farm buildings and birds or keep a softer finish; the compact format captures a full countryside scene without a lengthy time commitment.

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 farm rooflines and flying birds can be given crisp outlines or left soft. Work section by section until the design is complete, then frame as wall art or seasonal decor.

Finished size is 11.5x11.5 cm (4.53x4.53 in) — a compact, collectible piece that's perfect for framing or seasonal display. A rewarding project for experienced stitchers and a thoughtful handmade gift for needlework enthusiasts.
