365 Stitch a long - day 98 V + flowers

Todays stitch starts with a large green V. A flip flop lazy daisy combo is next. Then pink angled lines are added. I switched to a pink lazy daisy "leaf" on every other one.

365 stitch a long day 97 stick flowers

Todays stitch looks like stick flowers so that is what I am calling it.  Start with the gold straight stitches, then add a green base and french knot top.  After stitching this and tearing the paper away, I think I would reposition the stitches closer to the seam line.  Your choice.

Today's stitch is another combination of lazy daisy's.  Stitch 4 in the shape of a flower.  Leave a space and stitch 2 blue lazy daisy's for leaves.  Add yellow centers with French knots.

365 stitch a long - day 94 diamond straight stitch


Todays stitch is basically all straight stitches. Easy easy. Start with the large pink diamond coming up in an empty spot and going down into one with thread. Your stitches will be neater than coming up through a hole with thread already in it. Next stitch the side stitches in green and add yellow centers.

Keep stitching,
