Flowers Galore

I’m back.  I know I haven’t blogged in about a month.  Oh dear!  I’ve been busy working on some new things for the shop that will roll out early next year.  And, I’ll admit, enjoying a little down time with my son over summer vacation.

Many of you may have seen this piece on Facebook last week.  I stitched this beautiful piece by Melissa Prince and I just love how it turned out.

Melissa designed this to be a piece in a girl’s room.  But I just loved it so much and wanted to do it.  So  . . . I thought why couldn’t this be like a welcome sign in my house?  The green placquard comes blank and Melissa will paint any name on it for you.

I think the little blue flowers are my favorite flowers on the entire piece.

You know how I love Brick Stitch beading!  And we have a new bead vendor who has some crazy beads.  These were just perfect to fill the inside of the sunflower with.

A lot of people asked if I applied a trim of some sort for the gold braid and the name.  Nope!  It’s called Hungarian Double Braided chain.  I picked up that little gem from Tony Minieri the last time I saw him.

I’ll write up the stitch guide soon for this piece.  But . . .I was also thinking this would be an excellent class piece.  Let me know if you’re interested and I’ll work it into our crazy schedule.

    Suzie,
    It’s drop dead gorgeous! I’m definitely interested in a class (or two) and stitch guide.

    What a great class project with so many things to learn. I’m just seeing this now (1/30/18 !!) so I’m sure I’ve missed it. Do you have this in a kit with instructions?
