White Violets on Linen

100_9635a 
Switching gears, but keeping with the flower theme this week---I took a little detour from the state flower blocks over the weekend with this project.  This delightful bouquet is part of the free-with-purchase bonus transfers for April.  I used a long & short stitch for the filled areas (instead of a tighter satin-stitch), and I love the effect.  My plan for this is forthcoming--as I hope to get back to some serious sewing soon!

This is so beautiful, Vicki. I love it. Its simplicity is "just right".

Very pretty and I like that short and long stitch method, too.
