Merejka September Dew K-253 Counted Cross-Stitch Kit

Stitch September Dew with this Merejka counted cross-stitch kit — a rustic autumn still life of apples, a ripe pomegranate, and a pear spilling from a weathered blue enamel colander, framed by golden maple leaves and clusters of wild berries. Stitched on Zweigart 16-count ecru Aida fabric with premium DMC threads in 39 carefully matched shades, the design captures Merejka's photorealistic style in rich harvest color. Why this kit: the mix of glossy fruit, matte enamel, and dry autumn foliage gives experienced stitchers a wide range of texture and shading to work through; two chart versions, with and without backstitch, allow a choice between soft blended color and crisp defined edges; the warm harvest palette suits year-round kitchen or dining room display, not just autumn. Kit includes: Zweigart canvas, DMC threads, John James needles, and a colour chart. Counted cross-stitch is worked by following the printed color chart and placing each stitch on the gridded Aida fabric with the indicated DMC thread shade. The optional backstitch chart sharpens the outlines of the colander, fruit, and leaf veins for added realism. Work section by section until the design is complete, then frame as detailed still-life wall art. Finished size: 28x33 cm (11.02x12.99 in), a generous artwork that looks stunning when framed. An excellent project for experienced stitchers who appreciate the detail and depth of Merejka's still-life designs.
