Hand Embroidered Blossoms And Blooms...

Cast On Stitch Roses from ThreeSheepStudio.com
Hand Embroidered Blossoms using Valdani Perle Cotton

I have been stitching up some blossoms.
These are 'Cast On Stitch' roses with Fly Stitch leaves.
I have heard the Cast On Stitch also referred to
as Needle Lace, when used in this way.

I am hand embroidering some gorgeous
soft yellow wool.  I plan to make an
Eight Pointed Civil War Pincushion from this wool.
(Certainly, you would think after making 20+ pincushions, 
I would stop... not so, 
I just can't seem to get them out of my system !)




I have been looking for signs of Spring,
now that the weather has become warmer.




Amazing tulips, 
each one heavy with many petals !




I love when the moss takes over items in 
my garden.  So pretty.




Frilly tulips...




Wild tulips...




A smattering of purple tulips...




Old Fashioned Lilac...
smells heavenly.
