I am learning different kinds of specialty stitches from Abi Gurden called, "Tree of Stitches". So far, I learned cross stitch which is the tree trunk, and the leaves are smyrna stitch, french knots, and eyelets. I am working on the rice stitch next. The fabric is 25ct evenweave.....and the threads are various colors......

That sounds like fun, Sue! I would like to do something like that some day.
ReplyDeleteHow great to learn all those different stitches!
ReplyDeleteThe tree looks really good and I bet it looks really effective in real life, with all those different stitches on it.
:)
I'm really looking forwards to this coming together. Speciality stitches are fun and really make a project look fantastic.
ReplyDeleteIt's going to look great when all done, and I know you're going to love all the new stitches you learn (you'll never be the same again!!)

It's looking great, Sue - altho as the designer, I may be slightly biased, LOL! So glad you're enjoying it :-).
