Valentine's Day Embroidery - Part Two

I finished the embroidery on my Valentine's day project!  

For these swirly lines, I used the Back Stitch. 

You may remember on my last post about this project, I was considering whether to use sequins or beads for the accents

I ended up using both!

The floss I used is DMC #321.

Valentine's Day Embroidery - Part One

I have a new work in progress to share.  I am embroidering a table runner for Valentine's Day.

This motif is actually from my Wedding embroidery pattern but I think it is perfect for Valentine's Day

After transferring the motif to my fabric with a water soluble marking pen, I stitched the three hearts.  I used Straight Stitch to fill the hearts and Stem Stitch to outline them.

Then I added these small seed beads for some sparkle.

Next step is embroidering the swirly lines ~not sure which stitch I will use~  and then adding either sequins or more beads...I haven't decided which yet!
