I used backstitch with detached chain stitch leaves (Embroidery Stitch Bible #96, page 107). This stitch is also known as the lazy daisy stitch. I am still not good at it but I am no longer reluctant to try.

I think those stitches look lovely and what a sweet idea to use a button for the flower. Sigh, I need to learn some stitches.
ReplyDeleteHi Kathy~
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty button flower!
Thanks for stopping by my blog. I used the blanket stitch in the shape of a fan to form the fan itself, then filled in with a combination of straight stitches and french knots. I thought the fan looked a little flat across the top, so I went in and made little grabby-type stitches at the top of each section of the fan, like you would when you secure a lazy daisy. That's all really...
Also, I don't think you can really tell in the picture, but there are 4 different colors of purple/lavender floss used in this square, I thought that would give it more texture, but I'm not sure the difference can be seen...
Hope that answers your question, prolly more info than you wanted... I have a tendency to ramble... have a great day!
