Needle painted Dahlia 

part 5

Here are the photos and explanations needed to complete this dahlia.

As in previous articles, to make the work easier, I’ve favored numbering the petals with large photos to distinguish easily the color placement. These are listed below the image.

As explained above, I chose to add a new light gray thread. Using a 1-thread backstitch, It separates the petals from each other when necessary. I never use it on the outer edges of the petals.
