Needed break to digitize something and since we are working on rooms around here. I thought spring dogwood. I love them. So I drew up my idea of dogwood which was fun to combine reg Embird and cross stitch program feature I used french knots in middle. Then got out my quilting table and found out how easy it is to use machine to hand stipple, because my other machine you had to get knack with foot petal speed and hand. My Pfaff I just set to go slower speed hit button and moved calmly drawing as I went, it is a little crooked hand work but it turned out nice enough. Then I got out bias maker cut strips on bias then put to maker and sewed tape on. I drew the runner onto fabric then lined the dogwood flower where I wanted. I need the line up practice. Now I just need a vase with pussy willows and dining room area back together. Img1 is front Img 2 is flower design Img 3 back of runner.

Thank you, Is this the story.... The dogwood symbolism is tied to the crucifixion of Jesus. The Bible does not mention the tree by name. Myth, or legend, says dogwood was the wood used for the crucifixion cross and because of that, God ordered from that day forward the dogwood tree would never grow tall, but be cursed to be twisted and short. The center of the dogwood blossoms have clustered fruit resembling the crown of thorns

Beautiful labor of love and I adore Dogwood trees.
(Also, I believe, the legend that you mentioned below includes the nail marks at the tip of the leaves.)
