Week 39 Knotted Button Hole Stitch
I love this stitch. I have been using it for a while now and the more I use it the more I like it. Because I use it so much I decided to try it in ribbon, something I haven't done before. I like it even more.
It is spring here and everywhere I go the trees and plants are exploding with colours. The noise of the birds is deafening at times and being that time of year I had to stitch flowers. My senses have been overwhelmed over the past week or so with the beautiful gardens in Toowoomba. I wanted to stitch some blossom like these.
But all those other colours crowded in. So my blossom branches have a mix of all the colours I have seen in the last week. I don't actually think I saw something like this it is just what happens when the senses get overloaded.
This floral display is wonderful - I can see how much the beautiful season has inspired you. Ribbon works really well for the knotted buttonhole and I do love the birds. I bet you will be highlighted, yet again!

Thanks. I did get a bit carried away.

It's gorgeous - produces a really good representation of the effect of all those blossoms!
