I spent an evening planting flowers:
Jessica stitches make quite lovely flowers. They will be lovelier when they have greenery around them and the centers worked. I think, though, that I'm going to get the other two pieces on this hunk of linen Jessica'd and then do all the leaves and centers at the same time.
I thought about trying to work the color flow in the overdyed silk so that the corners matched. Then I decided that I prefer cottage gardens where things just sort of happen (even when that very random look is carefully planned). So I just let the colors fall where they may.
Back to it . . .
I honestly have never come across a Jessica stitch before so now I want to go try them. Thank you for sharing the pics of your progress ~ can't wait to see it with the leaves!
ReplyDeleteI like the looks of your Jessica flowers. Off to find directions for them as I haven't used that stitch before. Enjoy your weekend!

ReplyDeleteYour Jessica stitch flowers are lovely! I've never used it myself and the examples I've seen have been a squared version - this rounded form has lots of possibilities.
