Gum: Elaine’s Botanicals

Well here we are again at Australian Flora, I quite like the Gum, but if I were to stitch this it would have to be done as a Blue Gum.   The Blue Gum is the Tasmanian State flower of Tasmania, growing up in a rural area, it was everywhere.  Somehow the red and pink fluffy fronds never seem quite right to me they should be blue!

It seems our customers like it too as it is one of the best sellers amongst Elaine’s Botanicals.  It is relatively easy with only two embroidery stitches, double running and pistol stitch.  I think I might even have a crack at this one.    It it does give me a great idea for a baby’s blanket with Australian Flora and Fauna.
