About this pattern
This flower shop cross stitch pattern is Posy Lane Florist, a sage-green shop with a pink and white striped awning and "Florist" hand-lettered on the sign. Round bunches of pink, white and blue blooms sit in blue and terracotta vases in the window, with zinc buckets of fresh stems below.
It's one of five matching shopfronts: Honey Loaf Bakery, Fern & Folio Books, Posy Lane Florist, The Steeping Pot Tea Shop and Two Saucers Café. They share one palette, the same width and the same pavement line, so they hang side by side like a little high street.
What's inside
- Color, black & white and large print charts, plus a Pattern Keeper compatible PDF and an OXS file
- Floss key with DMC numbers and skein amounts (16 colors)
- A real-size preview page, a stitch-time estimate and a progress tracker
Size: 60 x 80 stitches, about 4.3 x 5.7 in on 14 count, so it fits a 5 x 7 inch frame. On 16 count it's 3.8 x 5 in, and on 18 count 3.3 x 4.4 in.
It's about 20 hours of stitching at about 200 stitches an hour (your pace may vary). Full stitches only: no fractional stitches and no backstitch, and the lettering is charted stitch by stitch. It's an intermediate stitch, with lots of small details in the window.
It brings a bit of spring to any wall, and it's a thoughtful gift for a gardener, a florist, a Mother's Day surprise or anyone who always comes home with flowers. I suggest Antique White Aida, as in the preview.
Plus our free beginner cheat sheet and bonus minis with every order.
