Lace Bowl & Doily Poinsettias

A sophisticated bowl of poinsettias to welcome the Holiday season. The three bowl side designs are basically the same design but the flowers have different numbers of color changes. The red uses four shades, the pink three shades and the white flower has two shades. In this way you can decide how dramatic you want your flowers! I chose very similar shades for a soft look as I wanted the angles of the stitches to provide the definition of the petals, but by choosing darker and lighter shades than I did you can make the petals more distinctive and bright. If you want to minimize time changing colors and bobbins, you could make all white sides, but use two shades of red or pink for the other colored flowers. Even though these are quite detailed designs you will find few jumps for easy stitching.

These designs are my own artwork with photographs as guides.
