It all began with the Stem Stitch, a much over-looked stitch. I decided I needed to explore it and see if I could find a little excitement while doing so. I had no idea that this stitch would be the beginning of something wonderful!
I pulled out some hand dyed linen that I’d bought and a 5 weight pearl cotton thread and began stitching.








And finally the whole thing comes together as this…

Not sure whether I will end up backing and quilting this piece or not. I may leave as is, I may float it on top of a larger hand dyed piece and I may end up quilting it, but for now, I’m happy to have it on my design wall while I get to work on my “Stitch Along with Ariane” project. Until then, here’s to stitching together! π
It sounds like lots of fun, and that what life should be, right? β€οΈ Mom

I’ve been in Florida helping my son after hurricane Sally. Did I miss the House of Embroidery deal – 279 for $ 400. Oh gosh!

I think you may have, Debra. You can try to order now using this link and enter the discount code AZ during checkout. If that doesn’t work, or it doesn’t let you, call and/or email Richard over at Global Artisans and see if he’ll squeeze you in. Good luck! π

Love the way you allowed your stitching to take you in different design directions – so pretty.
