Ring
( Daisy Chain – can be
single or repeated to become a border / Daisy
Ring – may be in a circle or split into two
designs.)
Stitches Used: Whipped Chain Stitch, French Knots,
Ribbon Stitch,
Straight Stitch.
Materials: Equipment – 15 cm. Embroidery
Hoop
Chenille Needle &
Crewel Needles
Ribbons: Yellow & White Ribbons 4 mm.
Green Ribbon 4mm.
Threads: Green Embroidery Thread – 2
colours
Yellow, Black & Beige
Embroidery Threads
Daisy Buttons & 1 Butterfly Charm.
Instructions: Transfer the design onto
material of choice with water erasable pen.
This can be done using a light box or by holding
the material and pattern up to a
window. Allow enough material to be able to insert
into an embroidery hoop. Cut
a piece of wadding the size of the material, and
tack this onto the fabric. This is
needed to stitch the ends of the ribbon down and
also helps while embroidering. It
is best that you get into a routine of stitching
down the ribbon at the start and the
finish immediately, if not, it is easy to snag
while you are working and all your good
work can be wasted.
Stems: Using 2 strands of green thread, work
whipped chain stitch for the stems .
Ribbon Stitch in green for the leaves.
Buds: 1st. With Green Ribbon do 3 – 4
small ribbon stitches, then changing to the
ribbon for the petals, bring the needle up from where the green
finished and make
small stitches, slightly curved in.
Daisies: Thread a length of petal ribbon and do
the petals in a clockwise direction.
( Around the circle) Next with 1 Thread of Green &
1 Thread of Beige fill the centre
with very tight small French Knots. Repeat this
for the upright Daisies and wilting
Daisies.
Bee: 1st with Gold Ribbon do 3 ribbon
stitches one over the other. With 1 Strand of
black thread, a small stab stitch for the stinger,
3 stripes and a French Knot for the eye.
Then 4 little legs. Wings are 2 ribbon stitches in
white.
Finally sew on the 4 buttons to the Daisy Chain or
the Butterfly with the gold thread
provided.
