Flowers. Don't you just love them? Red ones, purple ones, pink ones, real ones, fake ones, outside ones, inside ones, the one's you grow yourself, the one's someone buys for you?? How about some stitched ones?
In honour of my daughter buying me a bunch of surprise tulips at the weekend, I've decided today is the day to put my brand new embroidery pattern into my shop - meet Bouquet.
I cannot even begin to tell you how much I throughly enjoyed faffing about with a little embroidery floss to stitch up this piece. I wanted to embroider something pretty and happy and playful and just a bit different to anything else out there.
Hint alert: With Mothers day in the US coming up right around the corner, this is the perfect piece to stitch up a little pretty handmade something or other or why not send the pattern as a gift straight into the recipeints inbox?
Pattern comes with tracing and transfer instructions, colour numbers of all the Cosmo flosses I used to create my piece and a guide to all stitches used.
Flowers that don't need watering and never die - how win/win is that?
So pretty! I need to finished up all my embroidery projects so I can work on something like this! :)

Loving the embroidered flowers and about to buy the pattern, but could you point us towards a UK supplier of the Cosmo embroidery thread? Thanks, Pat.

May I ask what type of fabric you use to embroider on?
Posted by: maypole | 05/14/2012 at 09:40 AM
Hi Maypole,
I embroider On bella solid in white bleached. I would recommend using a good quality 100% cotton fabric of your choice for best results :)

Thank you. It's a lovely clean fresh background for your lovely colours x
