Moving on in showing some of my work from my Level 3 Experimental Stitch class, I have created a number of stitch samples. These aren’t usually a complete piece but just a sample to try out the stitch.
This first one is long and short stitch done with one strand of embroidery floss. This took forever! I can see the appeal to using this type of stitch but it takes patience.
This one is a bit more of a finished piece. It is created with a variety of knotted stitches featuring the bullion knot roses.
Thanks for stopping by!

The bullion knots make realistic roses! I very much like the short/long stitch pieces – worth the effort.
Thanks, the bullion knot roses were fun to make. And I do like the look of long and short stitch too.
Nice stitching, long and short does take some patience but looks so nice when done. the roses a fabulous.
Thanks Ann, hand stitching always takes patience. I have to get back into the Zen of it. You should try the bullion knot roses. They look complicated but are straightforward to make.
Ruth I’m totally with you about needing patience but all your stitches look fab & the roses very creative.
Thanks so much Antje!
