Today, a how-to on the Lazy Daisy Stitch.
This stitch makes the most beautiful flowers and leaves!
Step 1: Come up at Point A. (Point A being the narrow end of your petal.)
Step 2: Go down at Point A and come up at Point B. (Point B being the rounded end)
Still Step 2: wrap the thread about the needle.
Step 3: Pull the needle through and go down at Point B to hold the petal in place.
Done!
Now here is an embroidery design for you to practice on! Tomorrow I will post a how-to on French Knots so you can fill in the middle of the flowers.
I am so glad you are keeping embroidery alive. I did a craft with some young ladies the other day. They were eager to finish quick, to get back to X box! :-(
ReplyDeleteXbox?! How can Xbox compete with embroidery?! I guess I am old fashioned. lol
ReplyDeleteAh, well hopefully you will have planted a seed.
