About this Moon Phases with Four Bats Hanging Stars and Autumn Botanical Wreath embroidery pattern

Moon Phases with Four Bats Hanging Stars and Autumn Botanical Wreath brings celestial and botanical details into a hand-embroidery composition. Study the colored design and outline together before choosing which shapes to shade, outline or simplify. The supplied guide identifies these motifs: Central cratered full moon, four colored crescents, four bats, hanging starbursts, dark flowers, small pale blossoms, berries, olive leaves and copper-orange foliage.

The colored image is a design reference. Thread, fabric and your stitch choices will affect the finished result. Preserve the open spaces around the smaller motifs and test difficult fills on a spare piece of fabric before stitching the main design.

The stitch guide recommends 8" / 20 cm HOOP for this design.
