🌵 PRICKLY PEAR for april ☀️
simple, slow, and satisfying - just how we like it. come stitch along with me 💚

i'm beginning with green floss, outlining with back stitch (2 strands), and easing right into it.

next i'm stitching the flowers, using the pink floss and 2 strands to fill the petals with satin stitch.

and then starting to fill in the red sun with [ brick/2 ]

it's important to remember that when using brick stitch to fill a circle like this, the stitches are going to become shorter and shorter with each row that i make. eventually they'll become too small. 
so i'm not sure yet how i'll handle that... 

💙 i'll be updating this post as i make more stitching progress... stay tuned! 💙
