busy daisies

My 'busy daisies' which are not lazy as they work quickly to cover fabric. They are stitched with lazy daisy stitch and French knots, and are inspired by the most common-or-garden flower to be found on vintage hand-embroidered tablecloths. I don't make a plan; like self-seeded flowers, they just bloom where they find a space.

They can be found in The Gentle Art of Stitching which will be out any day now.
