Finally finished my scrappy roses mini and wanted you to see. It's my first try at this, very labor-intensive, but may try it again. I did a blanket stitch by hand around one rose and didn't want that so tore it off. Thought about Mfeather stitching each one, then decided to just let it go ragged edge. Didn't like the white stitching showing so I dyed the thread to match the roses. I did hand sew in gold thread three of the teal leaves and boy do they sparkle, but pic doesn't show it well. Whatta ya think?

Wow! Impressive!
I think the only suggestion I can make is to have you put a quarter or something like that in the picture. I can tell the roses are small by comparing them to the thread stitches, but I get the feeling they are smaller than I realize. Just how tiny are these roses? And you dyed your own thread!?! I'm envious and wished I lived closer to you so you could show me how!
