Progress: I did more of the black across the top and also the green on the pink poppy.

Starting 3

Progress on the petals on the lower bottom right.

This n that

I started the third poppy and then also did some black and green next to it. Slow and steady.

The pink poppy

A little more black and then I finished the pink poppy!

A full petal

I finished the large pink petal and added more black across the top.

Some of both

I worked on both black and pinks...

Finishing

I picked up some finishing! Underestimate me by Patricia Sone is finished flat for the acrylic tray. Canvas, threads, tray and finishing by Peacock Alley Needlepoint.

One done!

The yellow poppy is done and I have started the pink!

Almost!

The yellow flower is almost done!

Another one

I finished another petal....just a couple more to go!

Down the side

Today I worked down the right side and got quite a bit done.

Across the top

So the petals across the top are done as is the rust color in the center.

Inch by inch

More on the black back ground and the yellow petals.

Petal progress

I added some to the yellow flowers. Basketweave is slow and strand six ply of thread takes a lot of time!

Adding petals

Just black

Starting in the top right corner, I worked black for the background. This is going to be a slow project as it will be worked entirely in basketweave using six strands of Splendor or DMC floss.
