Work In Progress Wednesday - Freeform Embroidery

For holiday, how about an embroidery project that is totally free of planning, a stitch-as-you go, stitch-as-the fancy-takes you project.

I started out with a circle and filled in the line with Mountmellick and Portuguese Stem.
A number of lines sprout out from the circle, one with Twisted Chain, another with Basque and Up and Down Buttonhole.





Two of the lines start from the circle, at the same point and fan out, then meet in the middle and change tracks, eventually they will maybe form a figure 8.
I used the following stitches, Whipped Running, Detached Up and Down Buttonhole, Laced Running


 This is what I have for Work In Progress Wednesday this week.

    That's a good start. It's always fun to just play with stitches for a while, isn't it!

    Great start! I like doing things that don't require following a chart or pattern, so this is very appealing.

    That is a good way to spend a bit of time now that it is getting hotter and more humid ... and it looks like there is a lot of rain coming this way into the weekend and following week. My needle will be going in and out as well.

    Free form stitching is very relaxing, the needle leads the way. Stay cool, send some warmth our way please, it is quite cold.
