From time to time I
participate in a Teesha Moore inspired patch swap. I made this patch for Johnny
for an embroidered patch swap. Of course I thought about CQ and wondered if I
could use it in a Teesha Moore inspired patch. To make it work I made it a bit
bigger, it’s 5½ by 7¼ inch. I added lace
and a rose charm, which was part of a necklace. I only used stranded floss on
this patch.
On this seam I stitched
feather stitch and decorated it with French knots.
Here I stitched crossed
buttonhole stitch.
Vandyke stitch at the
right and tied herringbone with straight stitches and beads at the left.
I secured the lace and
the border with French knots. The lace is decorated with larger beads in the centre.
Every seam has been beautifully embroidered, and the lace and charm add interesting elements.

Verwijderenlooks lovely and good that you have shared stitches used for those who are new to embroidery
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThanks, Margaret. I always try to write about my stitches, they are my online notes!
VerwijderenFascinating stitches! The lace and charm are very pretty ways of decorating your patchwork! I love adding lace to my stitching whenever suitable, and can't wait to try some of those stitches, thank you for the ideas, Annet!

Thanks, Barbara. It's not always easy to find matching decoration, but for this vintage patch I found more than I could add!
