Pansy

It's been a really beautiful day today and it was a real delight to sit out and stitch in the garden today. Pickles thought it was a good idea too, she came and kept me company.



I have started on the pansy, my first piece of stitching for the Summer Challenge on the Hand Embroidery Group.

I have really enjoyed doing this today and will continue tomorrow to get it finished.


The petals have been outlined in split stitch and filled with long and short stitch. The yellow centre of the bottom petal has been done in satin stitch.

Can't wait to get it finished.
