There are stars and there are sensational stars that take center stage like these intricate embroidery patterns. Not just for Christmas. but any time of the year!
Both of these designs are from the 1800s. The braiding one works just as well with an outline stitch and the fleur corner is a redesign from the Ingalls catalog. Ingalls put out some beautiful patterns but a lot of them are incredibly busy with many kinds of flowers in one design.
