This could do with a bit of an iron, but it is another month completed. Like the others, it was stitched using three strands of DMC threads ,
Carnations- Flowers #321-straight, back, split stitch
Stems and Leaves #502-split stitch
Snowdrops-Flowers-blanc-split, satin stitch
Stems-not sure what colour number, the label had become detached, split stitch
Carnations always remind me of my grandad. These were the flowers that we had at his funeral when I was 7. My brother and I both had carnations, but different colours, I think my brother had red.
Snowdrops seem very appropriate at this moment in time with all the snow. I can remember my fascination at seeing snowdrops poking through snow. It amazed me that something that looked so delicate could survive and flourish in such hard conditions. It will be a delight to spot the first snowdrops of this year.
I annot wait for this snow and ice to go...I need green but will settle for a snowdrop. I love your latest panel but I have to say those stitches sound mighty painful!
ReplyDeleteLove the stitching! How many more to go?
ReplyDeleteA lovely stitched piece. I will be glad to see anything green again!
ReplyDeleteThat looks really pretty. I love everything red anyway.
ReplyDeleteNo flowers here... just more snow on top of the snow that still remained from the snowfall the week before X-mas. At least it covered up the ugly grey nmounds!
Thanks for the reminder...spring is really only 2 months away.
ReplyDeleteWe haven't had much snow at all. I'm fine with that.
The stitching is beautiful, and so are the flowers.
Very pretty flowers....great stitching!!
ReplyDeleteOh, what a beautiful stitching!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait when spring will come, don't want to be cold anymore...
Another lovely finish. That is going to be one stunning quilt/wallhanging when it's done. :0)
ReplyDeleteCarnations are my MIL's favourites. Sweetpeas remind me of my Grandad. Snowdrops I love for their promise of renewal & warmth to come. :0)
