This week I added 2 more
stitches to the needlepoint sampler I started last week. The first one is
Parisian stitch. I found different variations of this stitch in my books, it
was stitched over 2 and 4 threads or 2 and 6 threads. My sample is stitched
over 2 and 6 threads. Just spotted the mistake when I looked at my photo.
Condensed cashmere stitch
is a diagonal needlepoint stitch, the first one on my sampler.
I hope to share some new
stitches on my phoenix next week.
This looks like weaving! I like the diagonal one and am lookingk forward to seeing your phoenix.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI like the diagonal one too, but it took me much more time to stitch than the others!
VerwijderenNeedlepoint gives such a rich and textured look, and just like Anneliese says, it looks like weaving.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenIt's amazing to see the difference appearances of the stitches. I'm glad I'm stitching them all with the same thread and colour.
Verwijderenvery beautiful samples. lovely colour. I am interested to know the progress on this sampler project and of course the phoenix project.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThis sampler will have 81 1 inch squares, so it will take some time to finish it. I will finish my phoenix first!
