Description

This beautiful project combines needlelace, padding, and wired elements to create layers of depth that rise dramatically from the fabric. Vibrant red poppies display the delicate beauty of handcrafted needlelace, while a wonderfully realistic chickadee adds warmth and personality to the piece. Rich in texture, dimension, and detail, this design captures a fleeting moment in nature and transforms it into a work of embroidered art.

Previously available only as a correspondence course, this exceptional pattern can now be enjoyed as an individual project.
