Happy Mother's Day! We just finished having a fabulous brunch with friends and family. It was a pleasure to prepare and serve the food this morning. I find staying at home is much nicer than the hustle and bustle of going out to eat.
I decided to go with a black border to set off the gold trim.
In order to make the petals a little more pronounced, I took a black fabric marker and outlined them.
I know there are other ways other than basting with thread and needle to hold the three layers together, but I find this the easiest.
I decided to keep the stitching on the petals simple; I outlined them.
Next, I stitched the stem and bulb. Again, I kept the stitching on them to a minimal. On the background, I have decided to treat each square as a separate piece with its own stitch free motion stitch pattern.
A I mentioned last week, I really enjoyed our visit to the Rockies.
Not only was the wildlife, spectacular, so were the flowers.
