The Canterbury Bells Embroidery Block

The Canterbury Bells Embroidery Block No. 7
Original Instructions: Two shadows of blue are used in embroidering this block, lighter for the smallest flowers and top parts of most others with the darker blue on the bottoms and largest flowers. Centers are orange, stem and leaf green. On irregular shaped leaves like this, the poppy etc., a long-and-short stitch may be used instead of merely outlining the edges. Buttonhole stitch is good around the ellipse parts of the bell flowers, too, working up onto the cap part at the top sides and into the center on the lower edge.
