Chart: Letters and Poppies, Cross Stitch Creation

Like a sumptuous embroidered herbarium inspired by gardens of yesteryear, this cross-stitch composition combines the delicacy of antique alphabets with the vibrant beauty of poppies in full bloom. The large flowers with luminous red petals seem to dance amidst the refined letters, in a warm harmony of deep reds, soft greens, and natural shades.

With their generous, almost life-size proportions, the poppies bring to this creation all the poetry of wild gardens and light-drenched summer fields. Embroidered on natural linen fabric, this design is part of an elegant collection of floral samplers conceived as true decorative artworks to be displayed throughout the seasons.

The pattern was embroidered on 11 threads/cm natural linen fabric.
