Tracey is embroidering a floral piece for Williamsburg. You have to see the shading she's doing on her leaves with Burden stitch! So simple, so pretty!

By the way, the DMC Diament Tracey is using is not commonly available in the U.S. but Mary Corbet can tell you all about it, including where to score some.

(By the way, 123Stitch.com also carries it.)
