This elegant punch needle pattern captures the gladiolus's delicate charm, making it a perfect choice for framing or transforming into a decorative pillow.

Designed to complement the Gladious pattern is Ophrys (sold separately), a stunning floral design inspired by the Ophrys genus, which belongs to the orchid family (Orchidaceae). Together, these two patterns create a coordinated set that is both visually captivating and versatile. See Pattern Set in options.
