’m so excited to be able to share my new craft with you. I call it flowers-on-tulle or dried flower embroidery – it’s like traditional embroidery, but using flowers, foliage and other natural plantbased materials as your thread. Flowers-on-tulle embroidery came from my love of making combined with my obsessive habit of bringing nature into my home. In winter, I love to make decorative wreathes with any greenery I can find. It was this wreath-making that led me to the idea of flowers-on-tulle embroidery. One day, I used a garden sieve, or riddle – the tool for getting small stones out of soil – as a frame to weave my greenery around. I tucked the ends of the stalks into the wire mesh to keep the stems in place. That set me down the path of thinking about tulle fabric, and embroidery hoops
