Common Blue Violets: • The leaves are stitched using Gloriana 096 (4 ply) using basketweave or tent stitch. • The petals are stitched using River Silks 4mm 23/25 using a Chenille Needle.

Crown and Roses (Atlantic City/Miss America): • Note: Do not stitch the three round circles. • The crown is stitched using Kreinik 101 #12 using basketweave or tent stitch.

Cluster the roses together. o This stitch is done by bringing the ribbon to the front and then twisting the ribbon from needle to canvas making a loose coil. Go back into the same hole pulling ribbon gently and guiding ribbon with your free hand. The ribbon pulls into itself forming a ribbon rose, stop before you pull your rose back through the canvas. Use your beading thread to tack the ribbon down and securing it. ▪ This is a hard stitch to explain, I would recommend that you visit You Tube and look at Needlepoint Ribbon Roses. There are some very good videos of this technique. Happy Stitching! Copyright 2019. All rights reserved.
