Bring soft romance to your stitching with this elegant bunch of roses, combining open blooms and rosebuds with leafy stems in pink, dark pink, yellow and layered greens. It suits anyone who wants a classic floral rather than a loose, sketchy look, with the bouquet arranged to read clearly as a single graceful spray. The ten thread colours give the shading real depth, especially through the petals and olive-green foliage.
Because it is a dense, heavily stitched design, it works best on fabrics with a bit of body, such as cotton twill, linen blends, denim, canvas or a well-stabilised sweatshirt. It would sit beautifully on the front of a cardigan, the back yoke of a jacket, a tote bag, a cushion cover or the corner of a table runner. The finished look is polished and full, with enough detail to make the roses feel lush rather than flat.
