Birthday Needleroll Sampler - December - Embroidery and Cross Stitch Pattern - PDF Download

"For You, With Love..." Remember someone’s birthday by stitching this little sampler. Featuring a Birthstone Heart stitched in sparkling metallic thread, a medallion and tiny garden showing the appropriate Birth flowers, this design is dedicated to all those special people who are born in December! The blue-green brilliance of the Turquoise, Birthstone for December, is so vivid and distinct that a colour was named for it. The turquoise was thought to have powerful metaphysical properties, including the protection from demons and promotion of prosperity. Narcissus, the Birth flower for December, stands for“self-confidence”, and is known as a symbol of good fortune. The fragrance and beauty of Narcissus is always welcome in the bleak winter months! Using the enclosed Alphabet and finishing directions, you can personalize this little sampler and finish it into a needleroll, or frame it using an easy to find 5” X 7” frame. I’m sure that the birthday recipient will truly appreciate this as a gift from your heart.
