Red fritillaries, pale blossoms and blue flowers climb through dark green leaves in Blackthorn, a dense, richly colored Morris & Co. pattern. This counted cross stitch kit from Bothy Threads is based on original Morris & Co. artwork and works up into a square piece you can frame for the wall or sew into a cushion.

The design uses full cross stitch only -- no backstitch, fractional stitches or specialty stitches. Start at the center of the chart and work outward, filling in the deep background as you finish each motif, and you'll watch the flowers come forward as the piece grows. The floss comes pre-sorted, so you can spend less time untangling skeins and more time stitching.
