Calypso Lady Slipper Orchids


These little treasures of the forest are replicated in felt and thread. The buttonhole stitch was used repeatedly to attach the felt to the background, adding definition and color to the design.

  4. Wow, those flowers look great! I like stitchery and embroidery, too but I did not really had much time for crafting over the past few weeks - too busy with garden work.

    But since the weather is pretty bad this week-end (nothing but rain), I might so some sewing this afternoon.

    Hugs,
