Floral Embroidery Heart Design - part 1

 Hi all

Hope all are doing well and good.  Today I am happy to share with you a floral embroidery design. This design is so simple with two flowers and circles.  The flowers as well as the circles takes the shape of a heart.  

I have completed a portion of the design and the video tutorial.  Let me show the design and the completed portion today.  

The flowers are worked using back stitch and then button hole stitches are worked by passing the thread through the back stitches.  Some straight stitches are added inside each petal.  Then the centre of the flower is filled using satin stitches.
