four embroidered flowers




When I first embroidered this, I began with the pink rose. I thought that I would simply continue embellishing on that particular flower without adding any others. However, I am very glad about the result! If there were two things I could change, they would be this:

1. I should have made the purple and yellow flowers slightly different and not next to each other, so it does not look so repetitive.

2. The background looks a little bit plain. Although a different colored fabric might have clashed, a light blue material or something of that sort would look better than the plain cream muslin. 

The first flower (from left to right) is embroidered with various colored french knots, and the next is a bullion knot. The third is a lazy daisy with extra petals and a french knot in the middle, and the last, the yellow flower, is a bullion knot-detached chain combination with lazy daisy petals in the middle. 

Each leaf on the two middle flowers is a fishbone stitch, and both the stems the leaves of the first and last blossom are embroidered with a split stitch. 

This is a really cute and easy project that you could hang in a frame, sew into a pillow, or create some other adorable artsy item!
