The poinsettia or Euphorbia pulcherrima is a native of Mexico and has become a very popular plant around Christmas time.
It is fascinating that it is now available in so many shades including dark red, dark pink, green, salmon pink, ivory and various variegated forms.
The coloured bracts are actually leaves, and the flowers are the little unassuming red and yellow centres.
There are many stories and traditions associated with these flowers but the star-shaped leaf pattern is said to symbolize the Star of Bethlehem,
and the red colour represents the blood sacrifice through the crucifixion of Jesus.

All 5 sets $50 |
There are 20 designs in this first set. The individual poinsettias are available in the 5 sizes
used throughout the collection. If you want to have the option to stitch these out as 3D dimensional designs you
need to purchase my Tutorial which contains the adapted designs along with full
instructions.
You need to trim after each leaf and petal if you are embroidering
the poinsettias in pale colours, so the threads do not show through.
There are three colours for the flowers in these designs to give you plenty of options.
You may want to select just one or two colours.
Feel free to experiment and don't forget
to try some crystals in the centres!
