Many of my patterns feature flowers so I thought I'd share some different stitches that can be used to stitch flowers.
As with leaves, one of the most common stitches used for filling flower shapes is satin stitch
For the centre of flowers, I like to use French knots or a variation on this, pistil stitch.
Woven wheels are great for a rose like flower shape and looks great when a few are stitched together.
Plants with tiny flowers such as heather or lavender can be stitched using bullion knots or granitos stitch.
