I probably should've used a backing fabric but didn't. The last time I did,
when it came time to frame the piece, I couldn't get rid of a bunch of little

My guess I hadn't stretched the layers tight enough in the hoop before putting
a needle through the fabric.

Normal and I aren't on speaking terms at the moment ;-) What I meant was to
make a small stitch or two under a petal and then use them as anchors for the
whipping down of the wires on the back.
