Having had success with my daisies and foxgloves kit at the weekend, I progressed to the other kit that cam with it. This time poppies. Oh wow, another fun one to do. This one has 3D poppies on it against a background of green chiffon, The poppies are made from red silk and red chiffon.. The effect in real life is fantastic - the red silk really shines. I will admit the eyes did have a few problems getting the stitches straight. My five petal daisies were difficult to space properly, but the six petal ones were ok. (Note to self next time do 6 petals ones!) Maybe my ferns are a bit wonky (fly stitch) too, but natures isn't perfect is it?
I am now eager to try some more, maybe a larger one that will take me a little longer to finish. I am also thinking of finding some of my material stash, and using some stamps to create an image/scene to embroider, as there is still chiffon and lots of threads and beads left over from both kits. Rowandean certainly don't stint on what they supply. If you like a bit of slightly different embroidery do treat yourself to a kit.
