LE Part 4 finished

Well it is a week since my surgery and I am beginning to feel much better. The pain meds still make me a bit wonky but I feel my motivation returning, enough that I was able to put the finishing touches on LE part 4 this morning.






I used the 1/8 inch bias for most of my stems but added the tiny ones with little embroidered chain stitches and really think they added the perfect finish to the bouquet. I also added a little butterfly to remind me of my surgery and recovery while working on LE. I truly feel this surgery will make my quality of life much better, a rebirth of sorts as I have been in pain for so long and it is fun to add little touches to LE to remind me of the journey. And just for fun here are a few more close ups.






I am glad that I have several things prepped to continue with my hand stitching but I am really looking forward to more broderie perse with part 5.

Thanks again for the well wishes. It has been a blessing to hear from you.

Happy stitching!

Hi Heather first it was wonderful to read the Op was a success, I have been thinking about you the last couple of weeks , we have missed your emails to the group but I hope you are back chatting again soon. Your Vase of flowers is so beautiful and very very natural, I have enjoyed just looking at it the last 5 mins. Your needle work is such a joy to study. Take care Glenda PS I DO like your vase fabric.
