Wow, May 1 already. I love vases & so I stuck pretty much with this design.

I used:

• Diagonal Leaf & Leaf # 3 for tree trunk
• Woven Spider Web for flowers
• cross stitch for lower portion of vase & 3×3 cross on upper portion
• darning pattern for background (which you might not be able to see b/c it is a light colored thread – it is a simple diamond pattern)
• 6-trip herringbone for outer border

Stitch books used:

• The Needlepoint Book by Jo Ippolito Christensen
• Stitches To Go by Suzanne Howren and Beth Robertson

The stitches you chose work great on this piece! It’s georgeous!
Happy Stitchin’…
