Satin Stitch Embroidery Kit "Golden Moon"

“Golden Moon” is a large golden crescent moon with stars inside its curve, framed by a wreath of green sprigs, berries and round autumn flowers.

What the picture shows

The moon fills almost the whole circle: its crescent is stitched in long strokes that shade smoothly from cream to ochre and amber, so it looks rounded and warm. A large four-pointed star shines inside the curve, with a few smaller stars and tiny crosses around it. Sprigs with leaves in two greens rise along the edges, thin brown branches carry little berries, and round rose-like flowers in orange, terracotta and burgundy gather at the bottom.

The design is worked in satin stitch over a picture printed on homespun fabric. For the starry accents the kit includes a decorative gold-coloured metallic thread that gives the piece a festive shine. Nine floss colours come together in a cosy autumn and winter palette, and the finished circle in its hoop looks lovely on a shelf, next to candles or as a small gift.
