I had a lot of fun with the
fancy hem stitch. I show you a few details here. You can click on the pictures to see the details bigger. These 2 rows are done in perle 5 with silk wrappings. I only wrapped them twice, because the silk was very thick.
The green row is done in perle 5 again and I used the same thread for the wrapping. This way it’s a very boring stitch. So I made a line with DMC broder special and I wrapped it with a shiny green thread. I don’t know what kind of thread it is, there was no info on the spool. It looks like a metallic yarn, but it feels like plastic! This thread was awful to stitch with, but I like the effect. I decorated this row with French knots.
This square is made of 9 shifted rows with no space between them. I made the blue hem stitches first and then I made the wraps in brown and beige.
If you want to see my complete sampler, just take a look at
my Flickr-page.

Very lovely. I really like the flower looking one with the orange/yellow and green.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenOh pretties! Love this sampler!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI hadn't seen these before, Annette, love the way you have stitched on the diagonal, your work is always very creative and great colours.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI like your imaginative use of the stitch to tell a different story in the bottom pic. I was staring at the details of how you did the stitch then pulled back and realised how you've made the wraps make a different pattern. I like it.
