Life’s too short to be add in extra complications, so I thought I’d keep it simple with this test of a flower.

My ultimate plan for this design is to stitch a string of them along some aida band to make an Alice band, kind of like a daisy-chain. But with different colour daisies.

For the time being, I might just make a few coasters. The wonderful thing about this flower is that it only takes a couple of hours to stitch.

I think I need to play around with the placing of the centre, though, and maybe the thickness of the stem, but otherwise, I’m quite happy with it.

What do you think?
