Cultivating Your Beaded Floral Garden Series Part 1 – 4: Spring into Blue Beaded Forget-me-nots

Spring into Blue with Forget-me-nots by Brenda Franklin is Part 1 of 4 in the Cultivating Your Beaded Floral Garden series. This intermediate bead embroidery project shows how to stitch delicate forget-me-not clusters onto gardening gloves, pillows, or other decorative surfaces. The project uses seed beads to create flower centers, five petal blossoms, side view flowers, and leaves using lazy stitch. Approximate stitching time is 8 hours. Skills include bead placement, stitching on leather or fabric, starting and securing thread, forming floral clusters, creating petals, adding leaves, working with a beading needle, and finishing thread tails neatly.
