I had a lot of fun adding this flower to my CQJP 2016 March block!
It was actually embroidered back in January and shared as part of my review of Sharon B.'s Crazy Quilt Templates Set 2 published in the Summer 2017 edition of the Crazy Quilt Quarterly. (NOTE: I am not affiliated with the templates or the magazine. I do love both, though!)
After tracing the flower petals, stem and leaves, I used long-and-short stitches and size 8 red pearl cotton to fill in the petals.
Rope stitch created the stem and the leaves were filled in with a tiny straight stitch at each tip, followed by fly stitches worked in the same shade of size 8 green pearl cotton.
I love the way it turned out! (The photo does not do it justice. I cannot get the lighting to cooperate...)

This is such a beautiful motif Renee and your stitching is perfection! Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and the happiest New Year! Christine x
Sharon will be pleased to see how you have used her templates. Great flowers!
Your embroidered design is so pretty Renee.
I like a little snow, not ice and I am glad it starting raining to melt everything away.

Thank you, Diane! I am thankful the snow and ice are melting, too. Though, it sounds like we may have more over Christmas. (At least that was predicted last time I looked...)
Oh this turned out beautiful. Great job!!
That's one of my favorite designs from the sets. What you did with it is beautiful, too.
Very cool project!
Lovely embroidery Renee.
Beautiful stitching! And you button snowman makes me smile. I love seeing what you are working on.
Beautiful flower!! I love Sharon's templates - so many design possibilities (and so little time to explore them!).
This is beautiful! Nice work!
