White Woven Picot Stitch Flower

One of my goals this year for embroidery is to learn more stump work and 3-dimensional stitches. 

The woven picot is my first 3-dimensional stitch to learn.

I recently did a tutorial post on Feeling Stitchy about the woven picot stitch.

Check it out if you want more step-by-step photos.

(Plus, I love how my blue flower turned out)

Here is another woven picot stitch flower with white Perle cotton floss on black fabric.

Dont be surprised if you see many more of these on here - I just finished a blue flower that I will share photos of soon.

Woven Trellis Stitch Flower

I really love the woven trellis stitch. A few months ago I posted this stitch on the Feeling Stitchy blog and since it reminded me of a flower, I figured I would add it to my flower sampler.

First off - I should say that I took these photos months ago. I wasn't sure if I would post them on the blog because the lighting is not my favorite. I took the photos outside with changing sunlight. But I really like how the flower turned out - so I decided why not post them!

If you want better photos and more detail on the woven trellis stitch - check out my post on Feeling Stitchy.

Start weaving in and out of the straight stitches for each petal.

I filled in the center of the flower with french knots.

Added some leaves and a stem.

The finished flower reminds me of a poinsettia - anyone else?!?

Here it is on my flower sampler!
