This beautiful flower-filled heart is from my Be Mine Valentine hand embroidery pattern.
The stitches I used are so simple! The outline of the heart is the Pekinese Stitch. The flowers are Lazy Daisy Stitch with a Straight Stitch for added dimension. The decorative dots are all French Knots:
You might notice that I used DMC Blanc perle cotton thread for all the white and DMC 349 six strand cotton for all the red. I used all six strands for the outline, but three strands for all the interior work.
