All the white flowers

I got all the white outlining done on all the rest of the flowers! Yippee!  I can set the DMC pearl cotton aside, next to the grey and white flower threads.  I won't put them back into the stash until I am sure I did not miss a thread here or there.  I almost finished all of the Kreinik 04 in 032 as well and you can see the strand by the bottom leaf of the fifth flower where I need to finish that leaf.  Then on the right there is a small area of leaf closest to the flower that needs to filled in and it will retire from the active threads pile as well.  Tomorrow, I hope to get the beads on, but we will see!

And for a treat go and look at Mary Corbet's post:

This looks lovely, Pat. Once all the flower outlining is finished, this piece really looks great. The beads add even more.

I loved the needlepainting article, too. Very informative.

Beautiful! I love the combination of stitches and the white on black! It's so dramatic!

Thanks for the link to the needlepainting article on Needle 'n Thread. Gorgeous stuff, isn't it?

Best,
Mary
