Two posts in one day. Aaaw . Why not? But I promise, I will not chat your ears off in this one. I just wanted to leave you with a little doodle . You can do anything with this doodle. Embroider , color, punch needle- whatever your sweet heart desires, and your imagination dreams up. 🤗
Gardening is endless even in the summer time of heat. There is weeding, watering and of course harvesting fruits, vegetables and lovely flowers for sweet bouquets. July's Roundabout doodle is called Summer Joys. With gardening season in full swing, there is plenty of watering and of course flowers to pick.
Summer Joys was stitched using 2 strands of floss using the back stitch , the lazy daisy stitch for the flower leaves, and French knots in the flowers. . Of course, you can use any stitch that you please.
JUST IN CASE YOU ARE INTERESTED
The following floss colors were used :
🏵Watering Can: DMC 312, 783 ( Star)
🏵 Leaves and Stems: DMC 986, 3346
🏵 Flowers #1 & #3: DMC 783 (Petals and French Knots) , 3862 ( Flowers Stamens)
🏵 Flowers # 2 & #4: DMC 498 ( Main Flower) , 3688 ( Upper Petals)
🏵 Scalloped Border: DMC 498
Don't forget; there are other doodles in the series. If you have missed any of them, just click on the colored links, and you will be whisked away to the appropriate post.
