🪡 STITCH GUIDE BY ELEMENT
——————————

🌹 Large Blue Flower (Left)

Petals: Use Long and Short Stitch.

Start with the darker DMC 930 at the base of the petals.
Blend into 931 mid-petal and finish with 932 or 3752 at the tips.
Stitch in radial sections from petal base to tip, layering thread to give dimension.
Center: Use French Knots with 2 strands of DMC 729.

 

🌸 Pale Blue/White Flower (Right)

Petals: Also use Long and Short Stitch.

Begin with 3753 and 3752 for the mid-tone petals.
Add highlights with DMC 3865 and 928 for lighter effect.
Inner petals should be denser, outer petals longer.
Center: Use French Knots with 2 strands of 729 or even 3033 (for softness).

 

🌿 Leaves

Stitch: Use Fishbone Stitch or Satin Stitch.

Use DMC 3011 (dark olive), 3012 (medium), and 3013 (light) for variety.
Add midrib using a single straight stitch or Split Stitch in 3011.

 

🌱 Green Stems and Sprigs

Stitch: Use Stem Stitch or Split Stitch.

Use 3012 or 3013 for soft, realistic green tones.
Tiny Sprigs: Use Straight Stitches for the needle-like parts.

 

🌼 Beige Buds & Smaller Flowers

Stitch: Use Bullion Knots or Detached Chain (Lazy Daisy) for the petals.

Use DMC 437 and 436 for the warm tan color.
Add a tiny French Knot in the center.

 

🌾 Brownish-Golden Accents (Flower Buds/Stems)

Stitch: Use Straight Stitch or Detached Chain for buds, Stem Stitch for stems.

Use DMC 434 and 435.

 

📋 ORDER OF WORK
——————–

1. Transfer the design lightly with heat-erasable pen.
2. Start with the main flowers—embroider the blue flower first, then the pale one.
3. Work the flower centers using French knots.
4. Add the leaves using Fishbone or Satin stitch.
5. Embroider the buds and smaller elements next.
6. Finish with the stems and sprigs to connect the composition.
7. Press lightly with an iron from the back when finished.

 

✨ Tips for Realism & Texture
——————————–

Use 2–3 strands of floss for flowers and leaves, 1–2 for stems.
Vary direction of stitches within petals for depth.
Blend colors between stitch lines to create a natural gradient.
Keep tension even to avoid puckering.
