Garden Awakening K-271 Counted Cross-Stitch Kit

Stitch a stunning floral composition with this Merejka counted cross-stitch kit — Garden Awakening pairs deep purple iris and freesia spikes with a blush rose, golden freesia, and magenta tulips, gathered into a full spring bouquet against a cool blue-grey backdrop. Worked on Zweigart 16-count blue-grey Aida fabric using premium DMC threads in 43 carefully matched shades, this botanical design is rich in color, texture, and graceful detail.

Why this kit: 43 DMC shades separate the iris, rose, freesia, and tulip tones so each bloom reads clearly; two backstitch chart options let you sharpen the petal edges and stems or keep a softer, blended finish; the layered bouquet composition rewards careful color-matching with a lush, dimensional finished piece.

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. Since both a with-backstitch and a without-backstitch version of the chart are included, the iris spikes and floral outlines can be given crisp definition or left soft. Work section by section until the design is complete, then frame as wall art or a gift.

Finished size: 40x31 cm (15.75x12.2 in), creating a generous artwork that looks stunning when framed. An elegant project for home display and a thoughtful handmade gift for flower lovers and needlework enthusiasts.
