Homage to the Great Conjunction aka Christmas Star

Fiber & Textile Completed Projects
1

I wanted someway to commemorate the Great Conjunction or “Christmas Star” 2020 and still do something a bit more traditional for the winter season. I found this free pattern on the DMC site, modified it a bit to be able to use what I had on hand, and got in a little Christmas Eve stitching…just in time to hang on my wall through the New Year!

The background fabric is from a stash of whites given to me ages ago…it is stars but they sort of looked like snowflakes…I mixed greens and I had to enlarge the design a bit to fit the wooden hoop.

I am going to journal a sheets of paper and put in a picture on the back so that I will have something to remember this event in 800 more years…

So pretty!! This is really perfect.

My son was absolutely obsessed with the Christmas star this year. Extremely cool that you memorialized it.

Very well-planned and executed. The fabric really does give snow-like vibes, and the branches are a lovely texture!
