Begin by marking a small circle with your water erasable pen or a pencil.
With your Ribbon Stitches keep your nail on them as pulling the needle through, you want them as full and rounded at the tip as possible.
Step 1: Place 3 Ribbon Stitches ( 10, 12 and 2 o'clock) Fill the 2 spaces in between.
( 11 and 1 o'clock ).
Step 2: With the 2 nd. colour place two Ribbon Stitches as shown.
Step 3: Now: - 1 Ribbon Stitch at 6 o'clock and 2 more in the spaces at 7 and 5 o'clock.
Leaves in Ribbon Stitch.
Step 4: French Knot in 7 mm. Golden Yellow. Some markings in Black Embroidery Thread.
Step 5: Stem Stitch in Green for the stem of the bud.
1 Ribbon Stitch hanging downwards with 2 smaller Green Ribbon Stitches cupping the bud.
Take some time to experiment with these, they are well worth the effort and are an excellent addition to your embroideries. They can be stitched with fewer ribbon stitches and not so full.
Just keep this in mind when marking the centre ring.
