A sample piece of pistil stitch.  Mark points like the one given in pic - 1, and start stitching from the centre.  Finish all the long stitches and then proceed with the shorter one so that every stitches will be equally placed.  Then add a french knot or a bead in the centre.

Hope all of you will try your hands in pistil stitch.  Do give your comments below.
