When I look back on my journey with Camellias it has been the most difficult since I began Japanese embroidery but also probably the most rewarding because I have climbed a mountain.

At the outset, it is no exaggeration to say that I was terrified on long and short stitch and even more scared of random long and short stitch. It seems ridiculous to talk about being afraid of a technique but that is exactly how I felt.

The best way to tackle your fears is to face them head on and over the past year I have done 3 online courses that covered long and short stitch as well as stitching Camellias. I don’t feel that I mastered this technique but I have overcome my fear of it.

Indeed, I have come to relish the challenge!

Wow! that is just gorgeous. Doesn't it feel great to challenge yourself and overcome those fears? Or at least chip away at them. Thanks for sharing your journey.
What a beautiful piece, and so well executed. You should be very proud of yourself. I just love the red and white camellia, and the gold outlined leaves.
Beautiful whats next :-) Sue X
It doesn't seem unreasonable to be nervous of LSS to me - I share the sensation - but like you I think I'm beginning to get to grips with it!
Well done for overcoming your fears and completing it. The outcome is a beautiful piece of stitching
