I know I said I was having a rest from making flowers, I must be addicted, I couldn't resist making this one today. I made 6 layers of petals for this one,

instead of the usual 4.

Thanks Kezza. No, I don't take the machine to bed, it's too heavy!!! I do stay up rather late though, if I don't feel tired, I don't see any point in going
to bed, and then reading until my eyes, and the book drop! Gotta keep busy!!*4U

Thanks Joanie. The design came from
www.abitofstitch.com called Summer Blooms. It was supposed to be the rose out
of that set, but I found it very awkward
to hand stitch the petals around a ball
of fibrefill, so I gave up, and just made
large, medium and small petals, glued them
together, and the centre came from
another set by Ace Points Embroidery.All
very quick to do, and very effective. It
was all made in the 4x4 frame. *4U

I love this and all your flowers you have posted! The extra layers were definately worth the extra work. I also like the center. Did it come with the flower design or was it your own addition?

p.s. wow I just did my first comment! lol
