post a photo of the back of this project? The stitching on the front is perfect. I'd like to see the back to get a better idea of how you achieved these results. I'd really like to see how you made the satin stitching on the flowers and leaves.

Also - is there a name for the stitch you used for the stems? It's much more attractive than any outline stitch I've seen. The sharp corners are very tidy.
