This fun design was created especially for beginners to metal thread embroidery.

Inspired by an interesting early 20th century sampler of stars, this design has been cleverly re-imagined by Natalie as a festive decoration. The metal thread shapes recall eight brightly coloured bracts of the seasonal poinsettia plant. Your finished embroidery will be a double-sided ornament, stitched on a deep red silk and enhanced by a hand-made tassel with 24-karat beads.
