Chives Embroidery Project - Part One

I have a work in progress to share.  I am embroidering this chive border from my Herbs embroidery pattern set. 

For the chive flowers, I am using satin embroidery floss.  Satin floss is slippery and a little difficult to work with - but very much worth the effort!  It has such a beautiful sheen:

For all the stems, I am using regular cotton floss in a mixture of greens.   

I will post soon on the floss color numbers and the stitches used in this project.
