This free needlepoint pattern, ‘Fleur de Lotus,’ captures the quiet elegance of a water lily in full bloom. At the center of the composition, a large pink lotus opens its petals in soft gradients of rose and white, revealing a warm yellow heart. The stylized pond around it shimmers in layered blues, dotted with lily pads in various shades of green, while a smaller pink bloom peeks from the lower left corner. The graphic, almost folk-art style uses bold, flat color blocks and minimal shading, giving the piece a handcrafted charm that celebrates the visible stitching grid.
Rendered with DMC Laine Colbert Art. 486 wool, this design has a beautifully textured surface that invites touch. The wool’s soft sheen enhances the pastel palette—pinks, yellows, multiple greens, and tranquil blues—making it feel both fresh and timeless. Whether you’re new to needlepoint or a seasoned stitcher, the clear colour blocks make this pattern a rewarding project.
Ideal for adding a touch of nature’s calm to a bathroom, meditation corner, or sunroom, the ‘Fleur de Lotus’ tapestry brings a serene focal point to any small space. Hang it on a wall or turn it into a cushion—either way, its gentle motif will soothe the senses.
