Hydrangea Embroidery • Free Pattern 005

 

Hydrangea hand embroidery was one of my first designs. I did not want the petals to be equal. I studied the flower in more detail and the petals weren't all equal. This is why I have made them uneven. I sketched it, then stitched it and for a complete beginner in me at the time, I think it turned out quite nice.

This new Pattern was inspired by water lilies, found in a fountain, in a beautiful park in England, called Swiss Garden. 

DMC THREAD COMPARISON AND FREE PATTERN 003

Today, I am comparing various DMC threads. I love how economical crochet threads are, but unfortunately, this is not the case with embroidery threads. I love to use Petra cotton thread for any chunky designs, like I did with pattern 002. I think Petra would be best for any upholstery designs, but also pillow covers and throws.
