Here's the bunch of daisies all done !!
As said in the last post, I persisted with DMC Light effects for the purple daisies and Anchor metallic for the green .
The yellow daisies are stitched with Anchor cotton strands and for the double colored daisies I used one strand of yellow cotton with one strand of DMC Light Effect. I found them quite comfortable to work with -on one condition - use short lengths.
So,that's it!!
Or is it?
No, not at all :)
I need to show you those tiny red flowers.
Here's one.
The pattern called for lazy daisies scattered in between the floral bunch. But I was in no mood to repeat them again.So I tried this just for a change.
Do you want to try making something similar?
Its quite simple actually. Here's what I did.
Step 1.
To form a petal, make a straight stitch from the center
So,that's it!!

Step 1.
Step 2:
Come up in the middle of the petal
Step 3:
Pass the needle underneath the straight stitch without piercing the fabric,keeping the thread behind the needle .Pull and form a knot,but not too tightly. For the more experienced, this is buttonhole stitch on a bar. For these flowers, I made two such knots.
I love lazy daisies
