Feather and chain stitch
Beyond TAST is an
embroidery challenge at Pintangle. I was thinking what to do without starting a
new project. Then I thought about a quilt top I made 8 years ago with the plan
to add embroidery. I wrote about it here. Then it was time to add the first
stitches. I started with feather and chain stitch in perle 5 and long tailed
detached chain stitch in cotton a broder. The yellow threads are the tacking stitches, which will be removed when all embroidery is done.
But the colours where too strong for my quilt, so I frogged them and made new feather and chain stitches
in perle 8 and long tailed detached chain stitches in cotton a broder.
Nice annet. I like the embroidery with color threads.

VerwijderenI liked the colour embroidery, too, Annet. I think the quilt can take it.

Thanks Barbara. In close up the coloured version looked right, but on the quilt it took away the softness of the quilt. I waited a few days to frog it to be sure!
