Chambray top with cross-stitch poppies. I could just get the neck edging and the poppies to fit in my 200mm square hoop. I added the facing in the hoop as well. Hope you like it!

I love your clever ITH method to do the neckline. And the poppies look very pretty!

Thanks - it made it very easy! I've just uploaded better pictures. It was horrible weather yesterday and the lighting was really bad.

Great job Sue - I just love poppies.

It's beautiful Sue! You are very clever! Hugs, Yoriko

Very nice. I might have to try something like this. I have lots of neckline embroidery designs. Hmm, incorporate the facing too. Great idea.

This is really clever, you are great at thinking outside the box. :)

Very nice top, great work for being unique!

I like the way that you have extended the design to include decorative stitching around the neckline. Looks great.

I love poppies this is a beautiful neckline.
