Inspired by the star stitches that Mary Corbet posted on her site, Robin King has uploaded a series of star-shaped stitch diagrams to her blog, sharing them all with stitchers who need stars in their needlepoint skies (or elsewhere).

Mary inspired herself to continue to play with embroidered stars.

By coincidence I discovered Sheena James has posted an Oriental Variation stitch she says is great for Christmas trees. It's the next to last diagram on this page. You know, she's right--it looks just like a Christmas evergreen!

Thanks, everyone. You've made my Christmas stitching a little more festive.
