"Three hand-painted signs had been tacked to a broken-down gate. The first read, THE QUIBBLER. EDITOR: X. LOVEGOOD. The second, PICK YOUR OWN MISTLETOE. The third, KEEP OFF THE DIRIGIBLE PLUMS." - J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
About the Pattern
This 8-inch embroidery design is inspired by the sign posted in Luna Lovegood's front garden, and is created with all skill levels in mind. (But, if you really want me to attach a skill level to this pattern, then I'd describe it as a great fit for a "confident beginner.")

Am I able to sell items I make from this pattern?
No, unlike my crochet patterns, I kindly ask that you do not sell anything you make from this pattern. Do not alter this pattern in any manner and distribute as your own. I strongly (but politely!) request that you give credit to my shop for the pattern and post a link if you share your finished hoop online.
Help! I'm intimidated by embroidery!
First, take a deep breath! Each of my embroidery patterns includes a detailed stitch guide with illustrations and step-by-step instructions so that you're able to learn each stitch with confidence. (YouTube is also a great teacher if you're a bigger fan of video tutorials!) Remember, if anything ever starts to look a little wonky, you can always use a pair of small embroidery scissors to carefully cut the stitches out and try again! Unlike many other art forms, very little in embroidery is irreversible. Mistakes are always a part of learning, so please do not become discouraged if you find yourself practicing stitches several times before you're happy with the result. (Plus, the more you practice, the better embroiderer you will become!)
Where can I purchase this pattern?
You'll find this pattern available here in my Etsy shop, and it costs $15!
