Floral Stitches Year II - Daisies and Sea Holly

When I finished up the previous Floral Stitches sampler, a new one was already waiting for me, so I jumped right to it.

This one seemed unique with those long stems, but I was definitely game, and enjoyed picking out threads for it - once again, Wonderfil perle cotton #8. I wasn't quite sure what those blue flowers were supposed to be, but I imagined them to be Sea Holly, as I really like that flowering plant every time I see one.

Though this one was started at home, I actually took it with me on a recent getaway, and stitched on it twice(!) - just enough to finish it! I used quite a few different stitches in this one... running stitch, wrapped running stitch, French knots, single and regular chain stitch, back stitch, and couching. I love choosing the stitches as I go.
