TLC430 Abstract Flower

Photo Details

Poster: mother's daughter

The challenge police are probably going to get me. This isn't machine sewn and there are some straight lines. But there is a lot of sewing er embroidery going on here.
I was going to upload this anyhow, and it loosely fits the TLC, so why not put it there!
This is a design by Annie and Nico Heesakkers, a book called Embroidery on Paper for Cardmakers.
Though this is listed as a difficult design, it was very easy. I've enlarged it some, as I do most of the patterns I use.

I hope that I haven't offended the challenge police with this embroidered piece!

Another great example of your hand-embroidery skills! Nice design and great colors. Like the way the stitches are "fanned" or "feathered" out.
