This anemone gave me so much grief when stitching, I posed a question in Q & A. It seems not many people have made this design or, if they have, not had problems. I would like to make at least 4 of these to attach to napkin rings.

Apparently the grief was worth it, this is just stunning! I'd certainly be impressed if someone had me to lunch and put out these kind of napkin rings, wow! Marji

Beautiful! I haven't tried doing any FSL. It looks too hard.

It is wonderful, I bet the stamens were a headache to make. But your effort was worth it! Flower of the orange turn grey variety for you.

Thank you Mops. Yes, the stamens were difficult but came nowhere near the pistil centre.

This certainly looked a challenge, so I decided to
have a go, and see if it gave me as much grief as
it gave you.Never again, but if I did make another
one, I would cheat, and do the centre from another
flower, and I would buy the stamens. I wasted so
much thread it was unbelievable. I'll soak it, and
leave it overnight, and if it looks okay, I'll
put it on show !!

Thank you for doing that Pat, very pleased to hear that it is not me or my machine!! - I have emailed a couple of times but got to thinking (as you do) that perhaps you're not able to pick-up with O/Exp problems you are experiencing??
by ron111otter 04 May 2008
Your e-mails came through, will answer
later, we're off out for the day, we are
being fed by daughter-in-law today as it's
Ron's 77th birthday.
by elenu 04 May 2008
Happy Birthday Ron.

Yes, Coco, I was disappointed because I would still like to make more for a set of napkin holders. I hope I'll have some answers when I contact the designer.

Thank you Ibrow. Believe you me, I could have wished it to be growing in the Ivy rather than on my machine whilst stitching it!!

were the stamens in a seperate hooping from the center, if so - put a different center on the next one. I love the stamens.
by elenu 04 May 2008
Yes they were Shirlener. Did you read Pat's comments? I'll let keep you informed of developments when I've contacted designer.

I love the outcome of it. I also have carried on with projects that give me grief (my key). But, well worth it in the end isn't it?! Very pretty. The stamen looks like a royal pain tho, was it? *4U ><>

Thanks Joanie, In spite of everything this is my favourite flower and I really want to make more. The centre pistil and the stamens were both exasperating - to say the least!!
