"Ruby" project from the Jewel Series, PDF tutorial
By
Amina K.
This pattern belongs to “Jewel Series” collection of embroidery designs which features needle painted flowers inspired by gems and crystals. Perfect for your first needle painting project!
--------------------------------------
Ruby is an elegant and graceful flower with vivid colors inspired by the raw mineral. Due to different screen settings, the colors may not reflect correctly on your device, but the flower's palette in real life is closer to magenta (NOT red).
Its special charming point is "spotty" shading on the front petals. But don't be afraid, it is not something too extreme and difficult. In fact, this effect is brought by simply using variegated thread :)
The elegance of this flower is elevated by the geometric frame filled with seed stitching that gives it a sparkly effect.
--------------------------------------
The technique used for working this flower is called needle painting. It is an intermediate level technique, but closer to advanced. That's why intermediate knowledge of hand embroidery is recommended to work this design.
However, this tutorial is perfect for your first needle painting challenge as it contains dozens of step by step pictures guiding you through the whole process of working it.
The final work can be used as a wall decoration, embroidered book cover, clothes embellishment, etc. Measurements of the pattern: 27cm x 11.5cm (10.6 x 4.5 inches). The size may differ slightly in the finished embroidery.
The stitches you will practice with this design:
