SNOWDROPS IN SILK RIBBON
Celebrated as a sign of spring,
snowdrops can form impressive carpets of white.
Step 1: Form the base of the bulb with stem stitch
as shown, allowing a few branches to base the
flower heads.
I have used 2 threads of a deep green.
Step 2: Create the flowers with downward
Ribbon Stitches in groups of 2 or 3
depending on how full you require each one.
Step 3: Cover the tips of the flowers with
2 tiny ribbon stitches in a matching
green to the larger ribbon for the leaves.
Make sure you are hiding the area where
the stem and flowers touch.
Note: Place a finger over the white ribbon
stitches as you are executing the green
to prevent it from pulling the flower stitches
as the needle is pulled through.
Step 4: Add large base leaves in 7 mm Silk
Ribbon. For the longer ones you may need
to add a holding stitch in thread to hold in place.
Step 5: Using a single thread of the cotton
add small french knots at the point of the
flower.
