Crabapple trees make beautiful
flowering bonsai trees. The flowers and buds range in colors
from white to a dark pink. The bonsai trees bear crabapple
fruit about the size of a common pea. This tree trunk is
stitched in a padded, raised stem stitch. The crabapples are
pebble beads wrapped in Glory, topped with a petite bead and
surrounded with cast-ons. The buds are two bullions snuggled
in a satin wrap and a cast-on calyx. The flowers are made
with 5-petal stumpwork pieces and floss and wire stamen
clusters with beads, using techniques introduced by Loretta
Holzberger. Ferns are added to the bottom of the tree trunk
in Glory feather stitches. The pot features a needlelace
center done in Point de Venice style and is surrounded with
padded satin stitch and filled with assorted rocks (beads).
Stitches Included: Bullion, running bullions, couching,
button hole, detached buttonhole, cast-on, feather, leaf
satin, padded satin, short and long, stem, straight, Point

Walk through a field and gather
fall flowers. This basket of flowers contains Indian Blanket
Firewheel, Mexican Hat, Sneezeweed, Water Speedwell,
Foxglove, Blue Curls, and Viburnum Winterthur leaves and
berries. The basket is woven in Nova over Lola running
bullions and boasts a Nova cord made of five Nova strands.
The Sneezeweed are constructed with a new technique of doing
two-color double-cast-ons so that one color is in the lower
half of the petal and the other color is in the upper half.
The Sneezeweed are capped with padded satin and Frost
colonial knots. The Blue Curls consists of triple stem with
bullion petals, stamens of drizzles with a bead, and Glory
double-drizzle leaves; they also have some buds with pearls
about to bloom and snowballs as introduced by Rosalie
Wakefield for newer buds. Foxgloves are presented in stalks
of multiple colors: the inside of the tubes are satin stitch
dotted with French knots; the tubes (or gloves) are cast-ons
with detached buttonholes whipped together part way. The
Indian Blanket Firewheels are bullions surrounded by lazy
daisies and topped with fly stitches. The Water Speedwell
features buttonhole-stitch petals with drizzle, two-color
drizzles as introduced by Debbie Kelley, and drizzles with
beads surrounded with a bit of Turkey work. The Mexican Hat
has an interesting combination of texture with a padded
Bouclé hat and Ciré short and long satin petals outlined in
Glory. The Viburnum Winterthur leaves are adorned with fly
stitches and have Nova colonial knots for berries.
