1 Year of Stitches: 2017

Densely worked seeding stitches.

Missed this one out for some reason. I still have this piece in my UFOs. Must get it out soon and do some more work on it. Had health and home problems that stalled creativity for a while. Looking forward to Spring and Summer.

Following the last post, some stitches added to the cretan. I do like a bit of texture!

Seeding between the stitches and to hold down the loops of thread, then a scattering of french knots.

More seeding around these cretan stitches too.

 Straight stitches in different sizes and directions.

Seeding.

The gaps between the oval shapes will need to be filled in with stitches.

Cretan stitch, large and small.

I wanted some texture and the loops of thread were too long. Fill in and catch down with seeding stitch. And some french knots.

More seeding around the cretan stitch. I am hoping for a nice textured effect when I take this out of the hoop.
