Make the Cutest Roses and Daisies with Silk Ribbon
♥
Hi, hello stitching world, I thought you'd find these flowers useful when embroidering your own design, or to add in one of the panels you bought from us. They’re easy to make and oh so sweet!
Here I used silk ribbon from my range of ribbons. I used the 4mm no. 45 for the Pink flowers and no. 67 for the pale Turquoise ones.
.
Method:
.
- Make the yellow centres with French knots in a golden yellow thread to form the stamens. Use one or two strands of the 6-strand cotton or silk (separate one or two strands from the six) and wrap the thread once or twice around your needle. Make as many knots required to fill the centre of the rose or daisy.
.
- With 4mm 45 pink ribbon or 67 Turquoise ribbon, make loop stitches around the centre. Work over a spare needle to hold the stitch until you are ready to form the next one.
- Use a matching thread and tiny stab stitches to secure the loops along the base, near the yellow centre. This will prevent them from pulling out of shape with use.
- Make the buds and the leaves in detached chain /lazy daisy and use 2mm silk ribbon no 29 and/ or no. 82. if you like, add golden yellow highlights in golden yellow thread (one strand) and use feather stitch.
.
I hope you will enjoy making this little flower, its easy to make with lovely results.

You are welcome to use this pattern to help with your creation. Have fun!
.
Have a good weekend everyone.
Love
Di
