New progress

Ok i actually did this stuff last weekend, but havn't had time to upload the pictures which i will do now.


This is what i am doing, just a piece of cloth where i am practicing embroidery techniques patterns and designs. It is not meant to be displayed. i might eventually do one that will be. Here is a close up of a "leaf" done in detatched buttonhole stitch. with directions from this site.

Here is the flower and bud i also did. You can't see that the green part of the bud was supposed to have little "points going up the pink section. I didn't do that part of it to well. will have to try again.

Want to try some little critters as well like a caterpillar

I can't do the sepals on the base of the bud in detached buttonhole (like the rest of the base) either.

I use chain stitch for them, with stem stitches on the end to give a pointy-end look

PS Your buttonhole is looking great! Nice and tight!

Did you know that 'Post a Comment' on your blog is practically invisible? Very light blue. If you mouse around, you can see blog management words suddenly appear
