Rope
My embroidery was
inspired by Anneliese’s beautiful photo. The background is stitched in chicken
scratch and cross stitch after trying some chicken scratch variation on this sampler. The ropes are stitched in a mix of chain stitch variations, Portuguese
stem stitch, couching and French knots. I made the last stitches in November
last year. It was very wrinkled and I couldn’t get it right. So it was hidden
in my cupboard until last week. After all the good damp stretching results on
my blocks for Karen’s class embroider, embellish, create I thought it would
help this embroidery too. And it did, all wrinkles are gone!
