Accentuating....
Using a single strand of Accentuate, I am doing Skip Tent Stitch in rows from the top right to the bottom left on all the rose petals and leaves. All but the far left petal is done. It is amazing how much you can do when you are snowed in! LOL
Thanks for sharing your beautiful Boots Bailey flower! I learned something, after 30 yrs of stitching that I didn't know--you can outline stitch on canvas!? Wow, the shop where I go for my np stuff doesn't have anyone that knowledgeable. I LOVED your work but I don't see any stitches in the petals, hard as I try...what did you use? Is it a clear thread? Sorry if I'm missing something. I've very impressed with your work, though. :)

I can see the shimmer a little here and there. Lots of skip tent, though!

Carolyn, Accentuate is a very fine thread, and very difficult to photograph...but it is there! That is what I used on the petals.
