I was hoping for some sort of epiphany about which stitch to use for the flowers, like yesterday's one for the leaves, but no. I tried long and short stitch (or short and very short stitch perhaps) but it was just a mess. I made even more of a mess when I tried to undo it. I think the chain stitch outline works better. The centre of the flower is worked in buttonhole stitch. So there are four different stitches in the little flower - chain stitch, buttonhole stitch, straight stitch and French knots.
I like the chain stitch for the flowers!
ReplyDeleteI like the way you are using different stitches, looks lovely
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful!!! :)
ReplyDeleteMakes me want to find my embroidery hoop! Love the chain stitch flower
ReplyDeleteI think you are brave to do the chain stitch in such tiny flowers, with so many curves! But you have succeeded beautifully :-)))) I like the raised effect the buttonhole stitch have created! Oh, my fingers itch to embroider again!!!

ReplyDeleteIt has been many years since I tried any embroidery, we used to put flowers on our jeans back then. Great work.
