Lazy Daisy ATC

This is an ATC for my partner in the Embroidery ATC Series #2 -- Lazy Daisy swap over on Swap-bot.
Oddly enough she was also my partner in the first swap of the series which was for the chain stitch.
The Lazy Daisy stitch is also known as the detached chain stitch and it is a great stitch to use for simple flowers. I also used it in this very small (2" including the tail) Dotee doll pin and in some bottle cap pincushions here and here.
If you would like to know how to do the stitch yourself you can take a look at Sharon B's stitch dictionary. While you are there you can take a look at her amazing I dropped the button box crazy quilt. Click on any of the thumbnails and see the beautiful work she does. Eye candy.
