Here is a tea towel I finished a few weeks ago. The transfer was a good ol' Aunt Martha's found at a yard sale. At first, I had no intention of using fill stitching. The petals just didn't seem very interesting, so I decided to fill them in. Then, I thought the leaves looked left out so I filled them too. The petals are split stitch with stem stitch and back stitch details. The leaves are filled with chain stitch. I gave it to my mom, along with the threat that she'd better USE it! None of this 'its too pretty to use' business. :)
