More 2D Stitches and Lavender

Here is the next set of samples sewn up for us by Barbara to further our knowledge of 2D stitching.


Experimenting with different thicknesses of thread in Raised Chain Stitch

Lovely textures using Raised Stem Bands

It looks complicated but was in fact very easy to stitch a band of Raised Chain Stitch or Raised Stem Stitch



The lavender above was sewn using Bullion Knots for the flower, Stem stitch for the stems along with Split stitch and tiny French Knot buds. 
Soil was made using doubled Anchor stranded cotton in a variegated brown shade and the stitch is Stem Stitch.
Well, that's enough eye candy for one post :-) next time you'll get to see a Daffodil in Woven Pique stitch.
So goodbye from Lytham St Annes Embroiderers Guild and as always - Happy Stitching.
