Rosebud...

Woo! Rose number one is complete. Here is a photo. Sorry again for the quality. By the time this project is finished, I'll be a better photographer as well as a better embroiderer!

Emboidery on Rose Number 1

Here is the first rose. The first colour of outlining is complete. Lots more to come. I think these will take forever!

Oops, and Another Question:

What brand(s) of wool embroidery floss do folks use? I've been using DMC Medicis, but it is getting hard to find.

Thanks!

Question...

Anyone have any suggestions on a good way to transfer an embroidery pattern to (red and/or yellow) linen? I tried transfer paper (using a stylus) and it didn't take at all, though it worked perfectly onto various other surfaces like paper, cardboard and skin (!). For the one rose I'm working on so far, I ended up eyeballing the pattern and pencilling it onto the fabric.

Hoping for a great solution...

Thanks so much!
