can take a closer look at this complete sampler at my Flickr page.

Wat mooi toch allemaal weer
BeantwoordenVerwijderenDank je wel, Marloes. Ik ben iedere keer weer verbaasd om te zien wat ik allemaal al gemaakt heb.
VerwijderenThe silk boucle must have been difficult to handle, but the result is very 'organic' and great for Sumptuous Surface Embroidery.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenRope stitch also makes a beautiful scalloped edge.
Yes, the silk boucle was a tricky thread, but I like the result very much.
Verwijderenso many varieties of rope stitch, thanks for sharing

BeantwoordenVerwijderenWell, ropes is one of the things that connects us. Yes, it's fun to see old samples again. I recognized your eye as being yours the minute I saw it!
