Friday Revision Homework - Stitches 91 - 95

Wow! Of all the 19 Sunbonnet Sues I have made with Sunday Stitch School's stitches, this one was the most fun.

Here a prehistoric Sue is a Viking maiden weaving a Rya rug, a 'fake fur' coverlet.

I used stitch #91 Double Fly for the flowers,
#92 Parma for the timber weaving frame,
#93 Rya for the fluffy tufts of wool in the weave, as well as Sue's long hair,
#94 Smyrna for decorations on her dress and
#95 Chemanthy for the sun - Vikings worshipped the sun.
The rest of the picture is made up of Stem Stitch (outlines of body, and warp) and Needle Weaving (weft).


I hope the next set of five stitches will give me as much enjoyment!

    Great embroidery and design Queenie.
    Sue seems to have many friends, relations and ancestors, all living very interesting lives.

    Oh, you are so ingenious with your stitches.
    It is a good combination that you enjoy your designing and we all enjoy the viewing.
