The Blue Flower - Poinsettia Biscornu

I really wanted to capture one of my favorite seasonal blooms in a biscornu format. There's a lot of stitching in this, but the results came out just the way I'd hoped and I love the dramatic effect.

The model is stitched on 32 count "Khaky" linen from xJudesign. Stitch count is 102 high x 102 wide (for each the top and base).

Threads Used:

DMC - 729, 3346, 3777

Weeks - Queen Anne's Lace, Seaweed, Sockeye

Classic Colorworks - Tennessee Red Clay, Rose Petal

(DMC conversion is included for the overdyed threads. Closest DMC match for the fabric is roughly 640/642)

This design uses a lot of thread (depending on the fabric count) but on 32 count, stitching with 2 threads requires 3 skeins of Queen Anne's Lace and 2 skeins each of 3346, Seaweed, Sockeye, Tennessee Red Clay and Rose Petal.
