Une Capucine Magnifique

The Catherine Laurençon project Capucines is done. It's gorgeous...and so lively!

There's not much to say about the stitching. It's the same process as I've detailed in previous posts. I'll let the photos do most of the talking.

The last time I shared this project I was working on the third of five petals. By the way, the petals are numbered differently in the instructions. My numbering is the order in which I stitched them. Here's petal three completed (lower petal):

Petal four:

My lovely little supervisor (she just had her first birthday):

Petal five (first 'row'):

Petal five (second 'row'):

Supervising is exhausting (or boring?):

After a few last tweaks and tying off a lot of parked threads, it is done!

Here are a couple of extra images because I like them!

The garden nasturtiums are still going strong.

I really didn't know how the various elements of this design would turn out. The instructions were light on detail, and there weren't a lot of  progress photos in the magazine (Inspirations 93). I understand that the magazine only has so much room so this is not a criticism, it's reality.

It's all OK, though. It was good to just take some skeins of floss and see what happens. I think the flowers turned out nicely. I really enjoyed the bold colours and the stylised aspects of some of the shading. It was an excellent and immensely satisfying project.

I'm glad to be finished because I need to get to work on a project with a deadline, and I didn't want the nasturtiums hanging around waiting to be completed. I have enough in-progress projects already!
