Bouquet

I’m doing a series of embroidered ATC swaps and the third stitch was the lazy daisy or detached chain stitch. The lazy daisy ATC I received was my inspiration. I just started to make some flowers on a polka dot fabric. The stem is made of the rope stitch. I made the butterfly wings with buttonhole stitches and lazy daisies. His body is a bullion knot and his head a French knot with two tiny straight stitches.
