What better way is there to be prepared for the holidays than with a new stumpwork such as Christmas Rose? It blends with the traditional or a modern décor. The pine needles are stitched on the linen but much of the remaining embroidery is padded or worked with wire. The wired leaves and petals give the dimension which attracts so much attention. Covered beads and turkey work for the flower centers make it stand out even more.
The detailed chart pak includes instructions and diagrams for each stitch, placement of color and stitches, and how to attach the wired elements to the ground fabric.
This design would look striking in an antique frame or on a box top. An ornament for your tree, or for someone else, adds to the pleasures of the season.
