It's time to do a ribbon embroidery stitch, don't you think? Fly Stitch Rose.
This stitch can be found in many places. Sharon Boggon has a nice picture tutorial in her book 'The Visual Guide to Crazy Quilting Design'. It is often found worked in stranded floss or other types of 'ordinary' embroidery threads. Then the stitch seems to be called Woven Rose or Woven Spider Web Rose.
All these names give you a hint of how the stitch is worked: A Fly Stitch + needle weaving in a circle.
Let's have a look. Make a circle
with five points evenly spaced.
a realistic look.

I do like this stitch and sometimes use it in crazy quilt projects. It looks great and is not at all difficult!
I love this stitch and use it often. It is one that is firmly anchored in my brain.
Yes, it's a remarkably effective rose. The ribbon makes all the difference.
Such a pretty rose!
I think that tha method of entangling the ribon in the stitch is very good.
It seems that it can be made more stably than roses with only ribbons.
Beautiful rose! You make it look easy!
