Yesterday I promised to share the details of the
embroidery on my Easter egg after damp stretching, so here they are.
The detached chain stitches at the top are now
decorated with a colonial knot. The double row of running stitch is laced
twice with cotton a broder.
The herringbone stitch is turned into a double
herringbone stitch.
The row at centre is made of twisted satin stitch
(TAST stitch 89), detached chain stitch and colonial knots. The purple lines
are alternating stem stitch.
Now I only have to turn it into an ornament.
The free pattern for this Easter egg is available
at NeedleKnowledge.
I like the alternating stem stitch!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenBeautiful, Annet. The colonial knot to the detached chain is a great idea - will have to do that some day. Also love the double herringbone. Please show us the finished ornament.
