Roses on ROSE , a confused state of mind and a proposed BE workshop

A friend of mine has asked me to 'decorate' her bedspreads with some good handwork.That has put me in a spot - I've never done this before.I usually do very small pieces and try to finish it before my patience runs out.

I've said yes to her(am I ever able to say NO? )
I've to show her some suitable designs for her to choose from. She needs a center pattern and then something on the corners.Moreover she told me that the sheets are black in color - which color looks good on black ? - yellow , cream?? - aargh!!! My choice of colors has always been lacking in oomph.

I think I'll settle for fabric painting rather than embroidery , it'll save a lot of time.But where do I get the designs ?Confusion, confusion..

With this state of mind, I added something to my ROSE sampler. Here it is.

Will you be able to identify the stitch?(not bulllions) These roses will look good on dresses , won't they?

  2. Lakshmi,
    You've got the stem stitch part correct. But the centre is not knots.Knots could be used too.
