Friday Homework for Lesson 44: Mille Fleur Stitch

Here is my homework for stitch #44, Mille Fleur.

I wanted it to look like the background of flowers on a tapestry.
Later I will add something in the centre, either a bead or some French Knots.

That is really beautiful, Queenie.
I love those scattered flowers, very fun.

Thank you.
It is not a difficult stitch, but it does take time.

This is so sweet! It does look like tapestry. The threads are so colorful.

Well now, aren't these pretty. The threads have a lovely shine to them - are they perle threads?

Queeniepatch said...

It was fun to use the variegated threads for this stitch.

Queeniepatch said...

Yes, every one is perle, and I agree, they do have a lovely shine.

Rachel said...

Lovely. It does look very like Italian milefiori!

Thank you. I am rather pleased with the result. This stitch looks good in variegated threads.

They are impressive and impressively easy to make!

Renee said...

Absolutely lovely!

Pretty flowers! How about some (beaded) drizzle stitches in the centres?

Queeniepatch said...

That's a good idea!
