thank you Linda, for me this is new. I dont know a name "cretan stitch".

Hi Ganeva, this flower has been stitched using 'cretan stitch', but worked around in a circle, thus forming the 'clumping' in the centre, and the ridge forming outside of centre. The perimeter of the flower has been worked in whipped running stitch.

Beautiful embroidery - but I can't make out the cretan stitch - sorry, I am still a beginner in knowing stitches
