Sunflowers - Embroidered bedlinen

Not many words today...the pictures will speak for themselves...
Homework for my dear friends who visit deepashome - guess the stitches used in this block !!
( this should be very very simple :) )





The embroidery in this flower is far from perfect...My first attempt, and a tiring one too.But I'm happy with the end result.


Love, luck and sunshine,
Deepa

    These sunflowers are amazing, Deepa!
    First close-up has trellis stitch in the center, isn't it? But don't know the stitch name in the petals... I have to try it :) as soon as you tell us which stitches you've used... great job!
