Here are a couple of pictures for Take a Stitch Tuesday from Sharon B. Check out her blog if you are at all interested in stitching, it's a great resource.
I have to tell you this wasn't my favourite stitch. I don't normally carry beads around with me in my embroidery kit - and I didn't have many ideas for doing different things with this stitch. I like the challenge of doing as many things as possible with a stitch. It is a very pretty stitch, though, and I can see using it in little girl's clothes a lot. It is quick and easy to work up and, as you will see, quite dainty.
You might have noticed that I didn't use beads, but substituted french knots.
I also tried putting it on the edge of the fabric which I'm not actually crazy about, but it was worth the try.
and a close up:
And another close up. This one is actually the front. Next time I would stitch it so that this is on the back.
And that's all I have to say about that.

ReplyDeleteI particularly like the sample that you radiated the stitches out from the center. I thought about doing this but couldn't quite figure how I'd do it. You did a great job!
ReplyDeleteI love the flower one too. It looks so original to me.
