Cross stitch honeysuckle.
When Carolyn asked a question about 5D Cross stitch I wanted to illustrate my answer with a few pictures of steps taken, so I made this simple design.
I had to use it at least once, or rather trice. And yes, it will be turned into yet another notebook cover :)

88650wow you are very clever Martine. I have the real deal here, in yellow. I read what highlandermom said how interesting is that....I sometimes pick flowers and bring them inside for their perfume..I did hand ribbon honeysuckle flowers years ago...hmmmm, now what ever happened to that?......

We have a cream with a tinge of pink one in the garden, smells delicious when in flower. At the moment it's a mess of seemingly dead branches waiting for spring to arrive.

I have a orange coral honeysuckle as well as the yellow fragrant variety on my property. I love it. Most think of it as a avasive plant around here but. It is the next best thing to reg doctor antibiotics. It don't build up resistance like synthetic medicine either. I have had it clear me several times with upper respitory that comes in a cold season. Results for me being, done over with in few days where others with same symptoms & doc visit had to go back.Honeysuckle also balances blood sugar if high or low it balances it.

The flowers it takes me a while when they come in bloom I get a bucket pick till the smell is too much bring in and I have sewed tullie and netting type bags I hang them up. I shake the bags to stir blossoms up so they dry nicely elsewise would get some mold. Then I use if needed with other things depending on need. Mums dried I add one to tea takes out the itchy eye with a cold for example. I have peppermint and sperimint to add to teas because most anything herbal has not best flavors. I use as tea mostly. I have some burdock for liver cleanser in some strong whiskey I infused for my immune system. I had got boils for a little while playing the menopause thing. Very glad that done and over with. I took interest in the outdoor pharmacy about 10 years ago when we did not have no insurance. We still don't and I am thankful for my handy outdoor help.

For the purists: I mirrored the design in the basic customizing unit, so the cross stitches are going in the opposite directing in the middle one :(

Well, it looks like it was done by hand, it is digitized so well!
My Bernina program doesn't have this type, I don't think, unless I need to investigate the cross stitch further....am not very versed in this area, but I sure know a great design when I see one, and this is it!!!

No, I haven't used or bought the Embird one as I had this already in the 5D software.
140717I just love cross-stitch. I always buy designs, I didn't know you could do them in the 5D programme. Gee, I have so much to learn about this ME! Love Chris

You need the 5D Cross Stitcher, it's part of 5D Pro or can, I think, be bought separately. It's very easy to use, especially if you have a nice picture or an existing chart - just click the raster square in the colour of your choice.

Both the 5D as well as the Embird cross stitch program are add-ons not freestanding programs.

jenne, you can purchase a plugin from myriaCross for the SewWhatPro software.
