Create Fluffy flowers with Turkey work stitch !!

Hello friends!! I hope you are doing great.

I love creating fluffy textures with floss. So this time I am writing about a creation which I created sometime back using Turkey work stitch.

Turkey work aka fringe stitch Mmm? Yeah, some calls this as fringe stitch too.

This stitch can be used to create fluffy effects in your embroidery and is ideal to stitch natural looking grass/plants as well as flowers. Of course you can use this stitch to embroider clouds too. All you need is some practice in shaping out the floss accordingly. (I call it giving a ‘HAIR CUT’ to my embroidery !! haha !!)
