Design notes

This pattern leans into modern embroidery without feeling rigid. The linework is clear, and your stitch choices can change the whole vibe of the finished hoop.

The composition is designed to read well from across the room—perfect for framing in a hoop and hanging as small wall decor.

If you prefer a crisp look, keep stitch length consistent and avoid overcrowding details.
