Don’t we all have finished projects, not knowing
what to do with it. My embroidery Rope was one of them. I finished it in
November 2011. Last year it was featured at Mr X stitch and a few weeks later I
found the perfect frame for it. Now I only need to find a place on the wall to
hang it!
This embroidery was
inspired by Anneliese’s beautiful photo. The background is stitched in chicken
scratch and cross stitch after trying some chicken scratch variations on this sampler. The ropes are stitched in a mix of chain stitch variations, Portuguese
stem stitch, couching and French knots.
How wonderful to get inspiration from another blogger! The Chicken Scratch sampler shows how dense or lacy the checked fabric gets with various stitches.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenthis has worked so well and love the ropes you have added giving it a 3D look, Anneliese comes up with some great ideas.
