Autumn Wreath Embroidery Pattern

I love being able to frame embroidery simply. This little wreath filled with autumn botanicals works up quickly and finishes with ease. Light a fire in the fireplace and make a cup of tea, 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.
