I should have posted this homework report yesterday, but with one of the few sunny days of the Cherry Season falling on Good Friday, it was not possible to find time and opportunity.
So, a day late, I want to show you the
Aida Sampler
'Coffee beans' in wool and metallic 'goji berries'.
Sunday Stitch School Reference Chart
Here, too, I worked the Wool Stitch in wool, as well as in the usual perle 8.
Red Kimono Silk Scribble Cloth
I used DMC stranded floss for the stitches in variegated green/light blue/teal, while the yellow stitches were done with an inferior, fuzzy perle 5.
I like the little brown ones that look like coffee beans best. Different lengths give a totally different look.
ReplyDeleteCoffee beans and goji berries I like that! Your samplers and various threads show the possibilities well. I like the variegated teal/blue Wool Stitch looks like scattered jewels.
ReplyDeleteDo you like working with wool thread? I like the chunkiness of it but struggle to like it otherwise.
ReplyDeleteThese work well. It's always good to have stitches like this that can be used as a sort of sprig, but more emphatic than seed stitch..
