| Brynwood Needleworks - My Version of Boho Flower |
It was so nice this weekend that I spent more time outdoors than in, but I did manage to get a little needle dancing done.
This is my version of the "Boho Flower" from the "Everlasting" project. Mine's not so Boho. I decided to use Colonial knots in the very center of the flower, rather than the star. I also chose to use Colonial knots instead of the fly stitches around the outside of it, making mine a little more formal, I think.

Like the other mustard-colored bloom, I changed this one out to a lavender pink (It's showing more pink on my computer, but it cants toward light purple. I also opted to make the inner stitches alternate lengths, instead of all the same.
This one isn't quite finished, though. I'm going to add the same stitches to the smaller blossoms, and I think those stems need a little embellishing. Then it will be complete.
More to come this week, but we're busy with a few outside and inside projects, too. I also have an appointment with a new doctor, as my Green Bay specialist isn't coming back for the foreseeable future, and they're cancelling all his patient appointments. I'll be driving to Milwaukee to meet my new doctor this Thursday. (I remain hopeful.)
You are doing nice projects I love your flower.
ReplyDeleteI hope everything goes well for you on Thursday, I will be thinking of you.
Hi Catherine:
DeleteThanks! Only six to go, and then to work on the assembly, and a special center block she's got planned.
Thanks also for the good wishes. I'm looking forward to the appointment.

Very pretty blocks.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with you new doctor.
I hope you get some answers.

I must say that I like your variations much better than the original. The swap out for the mustard is perfect. Glad you found another doctor and hopefully he/she will be a perfect fit.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Maggie! I'm glad you like where I'm taking the design. I think part of me does it to show others that you don't have to follow someone else's pattern to the letter. You can always make it your own.
DeleteI'm looking forward to meeting my own doctor. She was recommended by my previous doc, and I trust his judgment.Hope we can find some answers soon.

Hi Donna! Those projects you worked on this weekend are lovely! I tried to start knitting a shawl, but I got frustrated and decided to wait until today.
ReplyDeleteGood luck at the new Dr. when you go!
Hi Sherri:
DeleteOnly six more to go, and then my personalized center block. I'd love to see your shawl when it's finished! I love knitting, too. So many projects, so little time.
xoxo
