Woven rose stitch makes a beautiful flower and is very easy to do.
Feather stitch is used for crazy-quilt embroidery.
For leaves on each side of a flower bud, fly stitch is a good stitch to use.

Fly stitch


This is a good stitch to use for leaves on each side of a flower bud.

 

 

Fly stitch
To work, bring the needle up at A, pull through. Loop the ribbon to the right, bring needle down at B, and up at C, with the loop under the needle. Bring the needle down at D and pull through.

Thanks
