Embroidered Stars (Turkey Egg)

Fig 3-8 "Eyelet and overcast drawn-work are used together to form a beautiful sleeve on a woman's shirt." From Ukrainian Embroidery, by Ann Kmit, Johanna Luciow, and Loretta Luciow (Ukrainian Gift Shop, 1984).

I developed this design from an embroidery pattern featured in Ukrainian Embroidery by Ann Kmit, Johanna Luciow, and Loretta Luciow. Working from embroidery patterns can be tricky because the white portions are more disperse and colored regions have more a stronger structural role (such as the red lines that divide up the space with the stars).
