About this pattern

White lotus flowers rise above broad green leaves, with ducks resting at the water's edge below. It is an elegant design inspired by traditional painting, set against a dark background that makes the white petals glow. This is a detailed, rewarding piece for stitchers with some experience. Work the lotus flowers first so you can see the composition take shape, then the leaves and ducks, and finish with the dark background — a needle minder and good light will help in the dark areas. On 14 count Aida it finishes at about 6.4 × 8.6 in (16 × 22 cm). Lotus flowers are a symbol of calm and new beginnings, so this design also makes a thoughtful gift for a new home or a meditation corner. Choose a dark frame to match the deep background.
