About this pattern

A white water lily seen from straight above on teal pond water, stitched all over as a square. The flower is a star of pointed white petals round a gold centre, with pale grey petals showing between them. A large round green lily pad lies at its upper left and a smaller one at its lower right, each with the one cut a lily pad has and a darker green shaded edge. Four short pale ripple marks lie on the water. Dark brown outline round the flower and the pads. No words are drawn. Full crosses only. It is 52 by 52 stitches and uses eight thread colors.

52 stitches wide by 52 high: 2,704 full cross stitches in 8 DMC colors (Dark Turquoise 3810, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Forest Green 989 and 5 more).
