A vibrant medallion inspired by a Byzantine illuminated manuscript, the Myra Medallion folk embroidery hoop kit is terrific for both the beginner and experienced stitcher. While it looks intricate, it uses basic embroidery stitches and is a great first project if you want to explore surface embroidery.
 
My high quality kits include the design printed on 100% Kona cotton, 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. Design is printed on fabric with sepia-colored permanent ink (does not wash out)
 
Stitches: Backstitch, satin stitch, stem stitch, French knot
Finished size: 6 inches in diameter
 
These kits are 100% reusable or recyclable and packaged in environmentally friendly packaging (no plastic!).
