The third stitch on my narrow Stitch Sampler
Again, a stitch I have done many times and enjoy. I found a band of Aida, with a lace edge, which I used for the stitching and then stitched onto the main band.
I explored the stitch, size, direction, with other stitches as extensions, and with various threads.
The larger 'tree' is in fine silk ribbon with french knots added, the smaller one is in a very fine silk thread and has two Bullion stitches, a pearly heart button, Detached Chain and Straight stitches added.
Other threads are DMC Perle 5, Fine hand dyed Perle from stef francis, and Caron Wildflowers -
all variegated.

Wonderful sampler.
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely sampler. You have used one of my favourite colours. I like all the overlapping stitching, and the different weights of thread. As usual your stitching is perfection.
ReplyDeleteI love your creativity. Do you have any advice for me? I want to be creative but just don't know how to. I find it very very difficult. Kathy
