Bring the lush tropics of Borneo to life with Durian Fruit from a Large Tree, Sarawak, Borneo Cross Stitch Pattern by Marianne North. Painted in 1876 during her travels through Southeast Asia, this remarkable work captures the distinctive durian tree with its massive hanging fruits and rich green foliage — a striking study of nature’s abundance rendered with North’s signature precision and artistry.
This full-coverage, fine art cross-stitch pattern translates every detail of North’s botanical composition into stitch form, allowing you to recreate her vibrant vision of tropical life. Perfect for those who love exotic landscapes, botanical illustration, or the fine-art legacy of Victorian explorers, it’s both a relaxing stitching journey and a tribute to one of the 19th century’s pioneering women artists.
The pattern includes regular and large-print chart options, five finished sizes, clear step-by-step instructions, and a floss amount conversion chart. Designed for stitchers who appreciate museum-quality artistry, this project offers an immersive and rewarding creative experience from start to finish.
