Moon & Stars Wreath Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Crescent moon ringed by a wreath of stars and tiny flowers, a celestial frame i drew for nursery walls and toddler bedroom decor. The outer ring is a dark navy looping vine, almost like a stitched-out swirl that goes round in a soft circle. Five candy-red satin stars are arranged across the top half of the loop, and tucked into the bottom-left corner sits an aqua crescent moon resting like its peeking through the vines. Tiny aqua star-bursts and navy specks scatter inside the ring like night-sky confetti.

I designed the navy outline in run-stitch instead of satin so the linework reads soft and airy, gives the wreath a hand-drawn feel rather than heavy block embroidery. Red stars use a tight satin fill so they punch out against the open inside, and the aqua moon is also satin filled with a clean directional sweep to give it dimension. Three colours total which keeps the file easy on home machines. Wilcom kept the underlay light because the open shape doesnt need much support.

Couple months ago one customer ordered the largest 7.5-inch hoop for her sons toddler bedroom, she stitched it onto a square of bone linen blend and framed it inside a circular wood hoop, hung it above his cot. Sent me a photo back, dark blue with red against pale linen had this real storybook nursery look. And another buyer used a smaller version on a baby muslin sleep bag corner.

Run this on dove grey poplin, white or barley hessian for max contrast, the navy and aqua read clean against light fabric and the red stars carry the eye round in a circle. Skip black fabric here, ya lose the dark ring entirely. Run the medium 5-inch onto a kids pyjama top pocket, run the small 3.5-inch onto a cot blanket corner, send a tote bag for halloween or valentines day with the bigger hoop.

Hoop a soft cutaway stabiliser, and use a tear-away topper if youre running this on terry or fleece because the looping vine can sink without one. Keep the rpm steady on the directional satin around the moon. Email me through the shop form if your machine struggles with the swirl outline and ill resequence the satin layers for cleaner edges.
