Aurora's Garden K-209 Counted Cross-Stitch Kit

Bring Aurora's Garden to life with this Merejka counted cross-stitch kit — a majestic tiger lowers its head to drink from a still jungle pool, its reflection mirrored in the water beneath hanging vines, pink blossoms, and a hovering dragonfly. Stitched on Zweigart 16-count ecru Aida fabric with premium DMC threads in 40 carefully matched shades, the scene showcases Merejka's photorealistic style in vivid thread.

Why this kit: 40 DMC shades build the tiger's striped coat and its mirrored reflection with striking realism; two chart versions — with and without backstitches — let you choose the level of definition in the fur and foliage; the dramatic tiger cross stitch subject stands out as a bold centerpiece rather than a typical floral or landscape design.

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 tiger's stripes, whiskers, and the ripples on the water, while the no-backstitch version keeps a softer, painterly finish. Work section by section until the design is complete, then frame as a bold wildlife wall piece.

An excellent project for experienced stitchers who appreciate the detail and depth of Merejka's scenic designs, and a striking gift for wildlife lovers who want a dramatic centerpiece for the wall.
