Embroidering Woven Roses with 2D Stitches

In the last 2D Stitch post you will have seen the Woven Rose samples shown below.

 They are woven using 1 or 2 pins - as shown in the centre of the large teaching frame here.

The roses were formed using Woven Pique Stitch, the stems in Palestrina Stitch and the leaves in Raised Leaf Stitch.

I can almost smell the roses!

Flower heads could also be made using different of thread and a Spiders Web stitch.

We hope you have enjoyed viewing these lovely textured stitches. If you would like to learn how to stitch them for yourself come along to our group on the 3rd Wednesday of the month - details in our Profile para on the top right of the blog; Barbara or another of our experienced stitchers will be happy to show you the ropes (or should I say Threads? )

Next up is the Innovative Scottish Thistle.
