One of my favorite gifts to give for bridal showers a hand embroidered vintage handkerchief {something old and something new-ish}.
Select the thread color you want to use {I opted for her wedding colors, navy blue and burnt orange}. I used a stem stitch, which is a basic embroidery stitch, to create the monogram and the flower stems.
I created the flowers using a lazy daisy, outlining the middle with a lighter orange. The flower was finished with a french knot center.
On the opposite corner, I continued using a stem stitch for the wedding date. I separated the numbers using a lazy daisy and french knot stitches.
Only catches tears of joy.
Off to deliver this to the bride to be...
wrapped in blue ribbon and vintage lace.
