This time of year, it's easy to get pulled in any number of different directions, and stitching often takes a back seat. But I did finally complete the little door hanger, and I'm happy with the overall effect.
The same Vineyard Silk Classic Foliage that formed the lettering was used in a stem stitch for the flower stems, with VSC Sage for leaves in a satin stitch.
The main portion of the hot pink flower was worked in an encroaching Gobelin stitch with VSC Cherry Tree, outlined in tent stitches with Peppermint and accented with stem and long stitches with Burmilana. The center was worked in a Leviathan stitch variation with VSC Jewel surrounded by French knots of VSC Creme Brulee. More Peppermint was used in an encroaching Gobelin stitch for the other flower, with tent stitches of VSC Dream and Bright White and French knot flowers of Creme Brulee in the center.
Thje butterflies were worked in encroaching Gobelin, satin and tent stitches with VSC Jewel, Celestial, Cherry Tree, Jet Black and bright pink Burmilana. I need to pick up some lace trim from the local fabric store before sending this project off for finishing.
