Forget-Me-Nots. Learn how to do Petal Stitch. Page 4 in the Fabric Flower Book

I've stitched these forget-me-nots with Petal Stitch. I'll show you how you can learn how to stitch it too. Along with other simple stitches you could then make this yourself and turn the finished piece into a picture or put it onto a card as a gift. This is page 4 in the fabric flower book that I am currently working on.

So very pretty. 😍 Watching you stitch this page brought back a lovely memory for me. I remember as a little girl walking to my Nan's house. The lady who lived on the corner was in her garden as I passed by. She smiled and recited a verse, as she gestured to her bed filled with forget-me-nots. The verse escapes me now. I remember the gentle pace at which she spoke, the volume of her voice, and the poem ending with something like 'the gentle blue forget-me-knots. ' It was one of those sweet fleeting moments in life that had long lasting impact. I have held a real fondness for forget-me-knots ever since then. 😊

[@marionsworld24]

Thanks for sharing that Leanne. Memories like that sometimes catch you unaware. I love remembering the forget me nots at Grandma's house. She didn't really have a garden...more like a wild patch of grass and wild flowers with the odd rose here and there.

[@ireneclai578]

I love your forget-me-nots. They are so pretty, and that puff stich reminds me of the puff stich in crochet.

I’ve learned new embroidery stitches from this page !!! Marion, you have done such a wonderful job with this flower book ! I enjoy listening to you talk too ! Thank you !!! Beautiful forget me nots !!!! 💜💜💜

Thanks Susan. I tried my best to show something different each time. It was good practice for me too 😊🧵🪡

Sunday FunDay with Marion’s World! What a lovely page. Forget-Me-Nots are so pretty. The pink/blue thread you used was perfect. The puff stitch is so cute, can’t wait to try! I am imagining a field of Forget-Me-Nots with a few mountains in the background. I am so glad you are keeping busy, this means many many many more videos in our future….. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@marionsworld24]

Forget me not foreground with a mountain background sounds fantastic! You'll have to let me see when you have been stitching it!

[@melindanaumovic8124]

Welll my goodness!!!!! I’ve just learnt something very new. What a beautiful stitch with the forget-me-nots!!! Amazing. Ohhhhhhh why would anyone want to get rid of forget-me-nots. I’d be sad too. Love them. So gorgeous. I wrote about them for mum (at her funeral recently) and it did put a smile on everyone’s faces. ❤❤❤ This just has to be my favourite flower page yet. Besides roses and orchids forget-me-nots are in my favourite 3 flowers. My fourth are Helibores.

[@marionsworld24]

I'm with you there Melinda! People always wanted rid of forget me nots and foxgloves. I think because they're native and seed themselves about people couldn't see the value in them. All the flowering plants from other countries had to be nurtured and cossetted. I like them all... but still like the lovely native flowers that grown without being demanding!

[@melindanaumovic8124]

@@marionsworld24 i don’t think they’re native here in Australia so I’m supposing we would look after them more.

Thanks Tracy.

Lovely work Marion and the variegated thread adds to the beauty of the forget-me-nots.

[@marionsworld24]

Definitely . It did half the work for me!

[@subritton2079]

For me, the raised stitch you used for the petals, will now be known as the 'around the pin' stitch. So pretty.

[@marionsworld24]

Ha! That will be fine until the next flower page which will also have a stitch using the pin... but not the same stitch... I really enjoy doing those stitches which are a bit out of the ordinary. :)

[@subritton2079]

@@marionsworld24 I use the stitch library on Sarah Homfrey's embroidery page to remind me of stitches I've not used in a while. My most recently used one was the turkey rug stitch, lots of textured fluff.

As long as I can remember, the forget-me-not is my favorite flower. There are a few in my garden, but not as much as I would like. I love your blue/pink yarn, it makes the flower so real.

Yes, it really di help make the flower just like they are....

[@christinepreisner2011]

Beautiful Marion. You are so brave to do the writing straight onto the page that you have finished

[@marionsworld24]

I don't known about brave.... I'm just not bothered if I make a mistake... Sometimes mistakes mean you go forward in a different direction, which often can be a better idea. Either way there's always something that can be done. So then I just try and relax into it.

Wonderful stitching yet again Marion! The only thing I don't like about Forget-me-nots in the garden is when the seed heads get stuck to your clothes!! Best wishes and happy stitching as always.

Oh that doesn't bother me at all.....

[@nancymaclennan9057]

Your Forget-Me-Nots are beautiful Marion and can't wait to go and get my blue/pink thread and make the page. It's so delicate and never seen petals done that way. Thank you once again.

[@marionsworld24]

I'm trying to show the different stitches that I used in my original book, without having to go and do those pages again.. Always lovely to make something new.

[@linaanderson2622]

Just to add she calls that St with the pin petal stitch. I haven't embroidered since I was at school which was along time ago but I remember mu mum doing it on tablecloths you could buy with the pattern drawn on, my favourite were the crinoline ladies holding a bouquet of flowers, happy memories thanks to you ❤

[@marionsworld24]

Definitely petal stitch. I've seen some comments saying variations on lazy daisy. But it's not made in the same way. The nearest I can think of is popcorn stitch, but there the loops are made without the aid of a pin. My first embroideries were made as a child using such patterns that came on transfers which were ironed on to whatever you wanted to stitch on.

Reviewing this video to see why my petals aren't puffy... I now see I anchored them too far out... I'll snip out the stitches & have another go at it. ❤🎉 Your stitching is marvelous!

[@marionsworld24]

Yes... they'll just look like a straight line if you anchor them at their full length. Give them some slack and then run your needle underneath the finished stitch to help the threads lie nicely. Good luck with it 🧵🪡

[@fayneilly833]

Great tutorial your petals are lovely , your teaching is spot on thanks

[@marionsworld24]

Thanks Fay. Your comment has made me happy. When I started my channel I wasn't sure I was doing things right. I didn't used to go on KZbin myself, or on social media at all.....

[@joditraub6827]

Love watching your creativity! I’ve been wanting to something similar in book and on an old wood bobbin!

[@marionsworld24]

I've seen people do long embroideries and wind them onto a bobbin. Is that what you're thinking of Jodi?

[@pamfrank3962]

[@diannecousins2321]

Love that forget me knot flower stitch!

[@marionsworld24]

It's a good one...and so easy too 😊

[@maramakesjournals2319]

Very pretty, very delicate. I didn’t know that stitch, but you taught it very well. Online I saw double daisy stitch (yours is triple) and someone here in the comments thinks it’s a “stacked lazy daisy.” I also saw a “petal stitch” done exactly as your puffy petals. I will try it soon! My brain is focusing better today. Maybe it’s that Bruce Lee water trick.

[@marionsworld24]

It's definitely petal stitch Mara. Lazy daisy and their variations don't have the knot at the top of the petal before they are sewn down. Also you could go as many times around the pin as you wanted to. It's a good one to try out! I hope the brain fog drifts away ... it's not good for the concentration..

[@chickadee04287]

I've been camping in the woods for the past week. I brought along my embroidery but did not stitch one stitch. So nice to get back home and see what you have been doing. I'm back to working on my "Summer" book. My worktable is covered with embroidery books, threads and fabric. What a mess but so satisfying.

[@marionsworld24]

I've always got a mess whilst I'm in the process of a project. But then I tidy it all away to start afresh on the next thing. I hope you had a lovely camping trip... It's a long time since I went on one of those! A Summer themed book sounds lovely too...

[@upriver7047]

You are such a wonderful instructor, Marion. I tried so hard to see what you were saying. My vision is just too poor to see where the needle goes through the surrounding thread. The result is lovely though. I hope someday you'll recall the name of the puff stitch. Perhaps I'll be able to learn it from a different perspective on a different venue. I love your little book. It's really really lovely. Thank you.

[@marionsworld24]

It's called petal stitch and I've just used it again in the Stitch Journal. Only this time in a much larger size with a thicker thread. Maybe that video will be better for you to see it... It's Week 23 in the Stitch Journal playlist....👍

Thank you. They were lovely to stitch too...

[@debracrumbaker5131]

I love watching you stitch! On one of your videos you were outside in your garden stitching. That looked so relaxing! I would love to see more of your garden. What kind of needle do you use? It looks larger than the common needle I use, but yours glides so easily into the fabric. Thanks for your wonderful videos!

[@maramakesjournals2319]

I wonder too.

[@marionsworld24]

It's got a bit cold here to sit outside stitching away. But that is how I like to work when I can. As for my needle I'm not that precise when it comes to needles for every different type of work. I was actually using a shortish embroidery needle with a good point and a largish eye. The main thing is to have an appropriate eye for the thickness of the thread. The eye is what is going to make the hole big enough for the thread to slide through. Other than that, I just pick up whichever one I feel will work!

I agree with you about the Forget-Me-Nots. I think they are so pretty and I have grown them in a shady area, but the gophers like then too. I will keep trying. Did you use Inktense for the background of this piece? Thank you

[@marionsworld24]

Yes, it was one of the original pieces of fabric I did during the Inktense tutorial a while ago.

[@user-po1lg1zo7t]

Such an amazing, creative woman you are! Can I ask what brand you pen is & is it a fabric pen?

[@marionsworld24]

Thank you for watching. It's a Staedtler pigment liner with a 0.5 mm nib. It writes really beautifully on fabric....
