Spring Wreath Embroidery Pattern

I love being able to frame embroidery simply. This little wreath filled with spring flowers works up quickly and finishes with ease. Find a warm, sunny afternoon and tuck into this design, knowing that when you're done stitching you'll have this on your wall within an hour. To do this embroidery, you will trace the pattern onto 100% cotton muslin and embroider with only two plies of DMC cotton floss.
