Gawthorpe Star Ornament Kit
by
Natalie Dupuis
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. 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.
