Doily in the making.
After a rather unproductive period as far as embroidery is concerned I finally tested this cross stitch design. It's 20x20 cm but I made other arrangements as well.
I used variegated thread for the leaves; the light part is very light, which does not show up too well in the picture.
Added a detail of the corner.

Your cross-stitch designs are always lovely - I really like how the variegated thread did on these delicate leaves and stems!! Well done! Hugs, Laura*

Thank you. There were so many leaves compared with the amount of flowers I thought I could either use two shades of green - and have more jumps that way - or choose variegated thread. And I loved the result.

Thank you. I am pretty pleased with those myself, it is always a gamble how it will work out.

Martine, this is just so delicate and a perfect design for something like a table mat, cloth etc. The cross-stitch style is one of my favourite styles. Love Chris

Thanks Chris. I still love to do it by hand, but this is so much faster.

A beautiful piece and reminds me of all that counted cross stitch (by hand) I used to do. Now I can make pretty so much faster because of clever digitizers like you!

Thank you. It sure is much faster but I miss touching the fabric and thread.
