I’ve been fiddling with embroidery patterns again, and this one is something that I’ve been toying with for quite a while. I like it!

Rose Window is somewhat reminiscent of the Mission Rose embroidery project we worked through a while ago, so I don’t plan to embroider it any time soon.

But I thought I’d throw it out here, in case you like it and want to tackle it!

The design is suitable for all kinds of embroidery techniques – from silk shading to goldwork to crewel embroidery, tambour embroidery, whitework, stumpwork … But you know me. I see it in silk and gold!

I left a small arched opening at the base of the rose, thinking this would be a great place to add a signature, date, or a family name.
