Canada’s Rose is dedicated it to Canadian teachers of Brazilian embroidery for their wonderful hospitality at a teaching seminar in 1995. The rose is created with running cast-ons stitched in a circle to produce layers of scalloping for petals. It can be a small rose with only two circles of petals or a larger rose with three or four circular rows of cast-ons. The other flowers include valley lilies with a special cast-ons method and asters that are completed with unique lazy daisy stitches. The regular leaf stitch plus a little padding completes the large serrated leaves and the medium-size leaves are stitched with the self-padding raised close herringbone stitch.
