Flamingo Embroidery

 You may remember back to the post where I introduced my Florida embroidery pattern.  
In that post I shared the finished marlin motif and I was beginning work on the big flamingo motif. 

I outlined and then filled the flamingo in Back Stitch. 

I used Satin Stitch for his eye and Double Knot Stitch for his wings:

For his legs, I used Blanket Stitch and Back Stitch, then I filled his feet in with Back Stitch:

I love these two motifs, I think they look wonderful together:

Florida Embroidery Pattern

There is a new embroidery pattern set available in my shop!  This one is titled Florida.   
The blue marlin {above} is from this set.  There are 11 pages of motifs featuring many of the iconic images of the Sunshine State.

Now that I have finished stitching the marlin, I am starting on this beautiful flamingo:
