Something different I was given an embroidery kit by a friend, she thought it was too hard for her, it’s taken a while because I was only doing it in the very hot weather when it’s too hot to knit or tat.
The pattern had cross stitch leaves but when I did them they did not look good and certainly not in keeping with the flowers, the flowers were complicated and I even changed the middle flower to look like the two side ones and even it up a bit, I did unpick some of the cross stitch leaves I had done and resigned them into more embroidery and in keeping with the flowers. It turned into a longer job than I thought, but now I have completed one the second one will be easier by just coping this one.
The kit is called florentine border by Bucilla no 63328.
