A Springy New Cyber Class!

Have I got a treat for all you stitchers that have taken my cyber classes in the past: 

a brand new, Springy cyber class piece that make you smile every time you look at it.... 

And it's called DAFFODIL TIME:

The idea for this fun design came as a surprise to me.  For all the years I've been teaching

FLEUR-DE-LIS with it's bright blue iris, it never occurred to me to design a companion

piece - until I was posting the iris photo on Instagram, and something about

the angle of the photo made me do a double-take and say to myself, "Hey, wouldn't

it be fun to create a daffodil design in the same layout?"

So I did!  And I had a lot of fun figuring out four different floral patterns 

that I could highlight around the center daffodil, creating little flowers

that sorta had a daffodil look to them.  And working with the bright Springtime colors

was definitely another perk - and much appreciated during the cold grey winter months!

Here's a close-up look at a few of the stitch patterns used in this piece:

DAFFODIL TIME is worked on my fav Santa Fe Sage Green 18 ct. canvas,

and it's finished size is a managable 8" x 8".  The thread palette is built around

Watercolours 297 - " Goldenrod" which has a cheerful mix of yellows, greens,

and a dash of blue.

 

So, if you LOVE daffodils (and honestly, who doesn't?),

  you might want to try your hand at stitching up this new Springtime piece.

(And I promise you that this is one daffodil that WON'T wilt, fall over in the rain,

or get eaten by bugs - and you'll enjoy looking at it all year long...)
