I know I posted a floral stitches sampler just a couple of weeks ago, but I've finished the next one in the series. And oh boy, was this a fun one! #11 of 12 small embroidery samplers in Dropcloth's Floral Stitches subscription series, I enjoyed every stitch. Something about the design, and the colors I chose, just made me happy as I stitched along.'
Surprisingly, I used no chain stitch in this one, usually one of my go-to stitches. But a lot of back stitch, some straight and brick stitches, quite a few French knots, and some couching to finish off the border.
A fun little sidenote - not even related to this particular flower - but Rebecca @dropcloth borrowed two of my floral samplers to photograph for some kits she's offering. See here and here for the florals that get to be in the limelight. Kinda fun. Meanwhile, just one more little sampler left in this series. Kinda makes me sad.
