Just love these flowers, in a hanging pot and dancing in the breeze.
This Tutorial shows three ways in which to embroider Fuschia Flowers,
all created by using Ribbon Stitch in a variety of ways.
Which only goes to show how adaptable Ribbon Stitch can be in SRE.

2 colours of 4 mm Silk Ribbon
( eg. Deep Pink and Purple).
Colour 1: Centre 2 Ribbon Stitches in Purple.
Colour 2: 2 larger Pink Ribbon Stitches crossing over at the top.
Thread: 3 Pistil Stitches coming down from the centre.
1 Straight Stitch to shape the top.

This is taken from an earlier Lingerie Pouch I had as a Kit. The flowers can be linked together with stem stitch woven through for the branches and Fly Stitched leaves.
Notes for Guidance:
As the work area is so concentrated, do not skip over stitching down your ribbons, it is far too easy to catch other areas and pull through your previous stitches. If you wish to replicate the full design or part of, you may find it easier to do all of the bases
that are the one colour at a time. Then progress to all the top petals and lastly the green tips.
