Marguerite

from $109.00

Goldwork Embroidery Kit

The embroidery design 9.5cm (3 3/4”) in diameter

The golden Marguerite is embroidered onto watermelon-pink silk with metallic and silk threads. The front of the pinwheel features a stylized marguerite daisy on a curly stem with decorative scalloped edge leaves. The stem and a single leaf are repeated on the back, leaving room in the centre to add your initials.

The project can easily be made into a beautiful ornament simply by adding a hanging loop.

The embroidery kit includes detailed instructions and everything you need for the embroidery and to make the pinwheel.

You have option to transfer the design yourself using the full-size pattern in the Standard Kit or a Traced Kit where I will trace the design onto the silk for you.

Marguerite uses a small selection of basic goldwork techniques and was designed as an introduction to goldwork.

This is a great choice if you have little or no prior experience with metal thread embroidery. However, I recommend you have some experience with general surface embroidery.
