Friday Homework for Lesson 341: Bamboo Stitch

 If you want to save thread, you can place the stitches 'á la Surface Stitch'. This way, the back will be thin, smooth and tangle-free.

Stitch it according to the instructions I posted last Sunday, and you will get a sturdy piece, suitable for upholstery. The disadvantage, though, is that you have to use a lot of thread.

Here I used three colours.




Red Kimono Silk Stitch Sampler

Here we have old, mature bamboo in a pale beige. Doesn't it look like a fence in a Japanese garden?

    Good samples and tip about the saving thread method.
    Yes, the pale beige on the kimono silk does look fence like.
