About this pattern
If you love the meditative side of stitching, this one is for you. A red poinsettia with eight petals and green leaves sits in the center of a garland ring. Gold stars, little hearts and tiny flowers are spaced evenly between, and there's a gold star in each corner.
Everything is perfectly symmetrical, so once you've stitched one eighth you know exactly what comes next. It's a soothing, rhythmic project. The eight colors are classic Christmas reds and greens with a warm old-gold accent, charted for ivory Aida.
The medallion is 89 x 89 stitches, about 6.4 inches square on 14-count. It looks lovely in a round frame, in a square shadow box, or finished as the center of a pillow.
It makes a beautiful gift for anyone who decorates with poinsettias, and a timeless addition to your own Christmas decorations.
