gets in the way sometimes !
I have used a number of different stitches..........Buttonhole, Fern, French
knots, colonial knots, needle weaving, long and short stitch for shading and Chain stitch !
I have added tiny pearls and Goldwork
Tubes called 'PERL-PURL'.
I have used many different threads also, DMC Satin, DMC floss, Anchor pearl cotton, coton a'broder and Gold metallic threads!
As you an see, I am only showing parts of the embroidery......You will have to wait and see PART 3 to see what the finished article will look like !!There are certain people who have given
me such wonderful comments about
this piece of work and I would like to
say that every stitch is a tribute to you
all for being so kind, Thankyou all so
very much.......xxxxxxxxxxx
