Wheatear stitch on my garden sampler
The third stitch for the
&Stitches stitchalong is wheatear stitch. This stitch wasn’t new to me, but
I never used it to stitch a flower. So I stitched a seam of wheatear stitches
on my white cloth to see if the movement of the stitch inspired me. Later I was
in the garden and saw my Hypericum, it looks just like single wheatear
stitches! After blooming the Hypericum gets nice red berries. I stitched my wheatear
stitches with perle 8 and added a colonial knot in the centre. I added fly
stitches and feather stitches with perle 5.
Take a closer look at my
garden sampler here and here.
Wat mooi, en de samplers ook. Dat is echt hoge school werk.
