About this pattern

A big golden sunflower with a bee busy at its center, set against a soft summer sky. It is a sunny, cheerful design that brings warmth to a kitchen, a garden room or a summer gift. The petals use several yellows and golds that give them depth and movement. Stitch the bee and the flower center first, then work outward through the petals, and finish with the sky. If you love this one, pair it with our tulip or lily patterns for a seasonal flower series. The finished piece is about 6.4 × 8.6 in (16 × 22 cm) on 14 count Aida, ideal for an 8 × 10 in frame. Sunflowers are a symbol of happiness and loyalty, so this design makes a warm gift for a friend, a teacher or anyone who needs a little sunshine in their day.
