THE PEOPLE CHOOSE 04/19

April theme from Jo's SAL is  "speciality stitches"

http://serendipitousstitching.blogspot.com/2019/04/the-people-chose-speciality-stitches.html

so right times to update an embroidery I'm working on, no cross on this one.


Among the WIP is the kit from "Un chat dans l'aiguille" named "Quand Noël s'en mêle"

It's a kind of hanging with four scenes on white linen fabric
and the back on red fabric.
I have already begun three scenes : Santa Klaus, the Nativity
and the sleigh.

Here are my progress on the sleigh

A lot of different stitches on this work :

chain stitch

featherstitch
buttonhole crescent stitch
Palestrina stitch
crewel stitch
Daisy stitch
twisted chain stitch
French knot
sand stitch
spider's web stitch
star stitch

always useful explanations



Santa Klaus update...

Love a lot other stitches... some examples on older works...
