CROSS STITCH PATTERN READY TO DOWNLOAD, DESIGNED BY Tempting Tangles

 

 

Creative Poppy exclusive!

Welcome visitors into your home with this springlike and cheerful design by Deborah A. Dick of Tempting Tangles and designed exclusively for Creative Poppy.

 

Bees buzz and dragonflies hover over the delighful colored flowers. A straightforward stitch with only full stitches, apart from the detail in the dragonfly and bees. 

 

Both insects are indeed quite detailed, creating interesting focus points inside the picture. The diaphanous wings of the dragonfly are rendered with thin longstitch and a metallic green outline. Its head is formed with petite sead beads, eyes protuding from the tiny head. The bee are also beautifully detailed with cleverly positionned backstitch.

If you don't feel like framing it, turn this stitched piece into a little cushion, pairing it with matching fabric color. Place it prominently onto a seat in the entrance hall.
