This beautiful design was inspired by a little Byzantine ornamented motif that was most likely used in either an illuminated manuscript or as part of a fresco decorative scheme. It features a lovely rose--reminiscent of a Tudor rose--in the center, encircled by a charming vine border.
This is a terrific design for beginners as you learn five embroidery stitches and there is a helpful how-to video on my Demos page.
 
My high quality kits include the design printed on 100% Kona cotton (so you can wash the design after if you like), DMC 100% cotton embroidery floss, John James size 7 embroidery needle, how to embroider instruction booklet, and a reusable stitch diagram (simply tape it to a window or light box and trace onto the fabric of your choice), and 6' beechwood embroidery hoop.
 
Stitches: Backstitch, satin stitch, Pekinese stitch, French knot (or seed stitch fill), Roumanian couching
Finished size: 6 inches in diameter
 
These kits are 100% reusable or recyclable and packaged in environmentally friendly packaging (no plastic!).
