Daisy Monogram - A

Here's the first in the Daisy Monogram series. For this "A" the letter is done in a varigated gray 5mm perle cotton using the Hungarian Braided Chain Stitch, (instructions are on Mary Corbet's Needle'n'Thread site if you need them and the link is broken). The flowers and leaves are detached chain stitches done in varigated green, pink, and peach.
 
Right click and save the photo file for the design...
 
...and the layout.
 
No need to draw out all the lines and chains for the flowers...just use "dots" for placement of the center and ends of the individual stitches.
