You are purchasing a digital PDF pattern, not a finished embroidery piece.
In 1889, Vincent van Gogh painted the view from his asylum window before sunrise. Urban Stitches has spent years turning it into blackwork.
Starry Night is the Guild's most ambitious ongoing Stitch Along - a full coverage colour blackwork rendering of Van Gogh's masterwork, releasing section by section, week by week, to a community of thousands of stitchers working through it together. There has never been a full coverage colour blackwork design of this scale before Urban Stitches made this one exist. There still isn't another one. This is it.
Upon purchase you will receive a file containing your login details for the dedicated Starry Night SAL page. From there you can access every section released to date, along with the accompanying lore, notes, and community updates that release alongside each new part. New sections continue to release on schedule. This is an ongoing SAL and is not yet complete.
This is not a quick project. The Guild is aware of this. The Guild considers it the point.
