Chart: The Beach, Cross Stitch Pattern

Like an old postcard brought back from a seaside trip, this creation transports us to a sun-drenched beach where playful puppies, seabirds, and vacation memories compose a charming scene. Seashells, fine sand, colorful beach huts, and ribbons in marine tones evoke the simple pleasures of days spent with feet in the water.

This original composition blends embroidery, decorative papers, and collectibles in a decidedly seaside spirit. Presented in a decorated frame, the piece combines embroidery and creative staging to form a true vacation tableau. Seashells, starfish, an old postcard, and coordinated papers add depth and authenticity to this fresh creation.

The motifs were embroidered on DMC 11 threads/cm linen fabric, color 842 linen, worked over 2 warp threads and 2 weft threads. This creation can also be made on 12 threads/cm linen fabric or 5.5 stitches/cm Aida fabric for similar dimensions.
