Pattern: Cosmos Sulphureus!, Cross Stitch Design

Bring a bright and warm touch to your decor with this superb embroidered interpretation of the Cosmos Sulphureus. With its flamboyant petals in shades of orange and gold, this generous flower illuminates the canvas and evokes sun-drenched gardens at the end of summer.

True to the spirit of Marie-Thérèse Saint-Aubin's creations, this embroidery favors lightness and delicate lines. The interplay of half stitches, long stitches, and subtly worked shades gives the motif all its finesse and almost watercolor-like appearance. The embroidered text harmoniously accompanies the flower and reinforces the impression of a botanical illustration.

The design was embroidered on DMC 11 threads/cm ecru linen fabric, worked over 2 warp threads and 2 weft threads. This fabric particularly highlights the luminous gradients of the flower. This creation can also be made on Aida 5.5 stitches/cm fabric for similar dimensions.

The charts are printed with symbols and colors (DMC ref.) on 6 pages.

Pattern size: 119 × 128 stitches — approximately 21.6 × 23.3 cm on 11 threads/cm linen or 5.5 pts/cm Aida. Ideal for a botanical framed picture.
