The is pattern created by first working two lines of buttonhole stitch with the arms at different heights to make triangular formations along the line. In the peaks and valleys I have added a small flower motif. Seed beads were added to the centre of the little apricot flowers made of detached chain stitch (lazy daisy stitch)
