Flower Embroidery in a Hoop

I finished this embroidery that I started last year in December 2025. After hurting my ribcage, I needed some handwork to do, so this was a great reason to get started on this embroidery. I have also been knitting a lot too. Sewing at the machine is now happening slowly and for short periods of time until I am 100% better. I am getting there.

I hadn't done any hand embroidery in a long time! I thought this was a pretty one. It was a kit from Amazon. The embroidery floss that came with the kit wasn't the best quality though and I think it may have been polyester thread instead of cotton, but it didn't say. It came with 2 needles (not great needle quality and not very sharp needles either) and even little scissors (the scissors were not sharp or very good and could barely cut the thread), a needle threader that really didn't work with the needle size and threads used in the kit, and a plastic hoop, which was fine.

This is the back of the hoop embroidery. I stamped a couple of stamps and wrote the month/year I completed this piece. I glued the stiff fabric to the hoop edge to cover up the back of the embroidery stitches.
