01

Begin by embroidering the small daisies. Take three strands of bright orange thread and use this to satin stitch the centres of each daisy. Satin stitch each petal using three strands of yellow thread.02 Backstitch the stems of the baby’s breath flowers using three strands of medium green thread. Use three strands of medium lavender thread and three strands of light lavender thread to create French knots randomly clustered around the stems. Make the knots larger near the bottom of the stem by wrapping the needle two to three times for each knot. Make the knots smaller near the top of the stem by only wrapping the needle once for each knot.
