A few days ago I added pistil stitch flowers to my
garden sampler. I used Stef Francis perle 5 for the flower and perle 12 for the
buds. Normally the pistil stitch is wrapped like a French knot, but I wrapped
them like a colonial knot. It was easier to control the tension of the stitch. I
added green long tailed woven detached chain stitches and fly stitches with
perle 8 and 5.
Take a closer look at the pistil stitches on my
garden sampler here.
Good idea! I have to try Colonial Knots on the Pistil Stitch. Your garden is so beautiful.
