About this Wrought-Iron Moon Gate, Mushrooms and Ferns embroidery pattern
The gate's mirrored scrolls remain fine open linework against the pale crescent behind them. Its vertical bars provide structure above a lower cluster of rounded mushroom caps and tapered fern fronds. Moths soften the architectural symmetry and repeat the pale lavender tones in small flowers. The moon-phase row is separate from the large crescent, creating a clear upper boundary while preserving visible fabric around the gate and 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.
