Autumn rose---progress

I have completed the center monogram design in my autumn rose project. I have used satin stitch (two strands of Anchor threads) for the roses that surround the monogram S. However, after I found out that one strand will be better for satin stitch than two strands I switched over to one. The leaves are stitched with one strand of floss and I think they look smooth than the flower petals stitched with two strands.

Thanks to Mary Corbet of http://www.NeedlenThread.com for her suggestion in one of her posts on using one strand for satin stitch instead of two.

Hi Flora, these are lovely. I am always interested in embroidery but i have never tried one. I blame my office hours. Maybe after marriage I will follow ur posts and learn these arts.

Thanks to Boopathy, my Excel Masterji.
