| stitched - 'Spirea over the Snowbank' |
The knots kind of look like cloves, don't they? The actually seed pods were five pointed, but this is great I think! It sure beats filling the piece with french knot do-nuts. That just wouldn't look right. I put the whole piece on white batting & a dryer sheet to look like snow. I LOVE that. : ) I'll make a few more. I have a three-window frame that it might look great in.
Go check out the cool photos if you haven't already! I could stitch them for ever! ; )

I couldn't tell without enlarging the picture that it was stitched. It is beautiful!
That is very lovely Monika, you have done a great job with it.

perfect interpretation of the flower.
Very pretty and very realistic. I had to enlarge it too:)
it's a beautiful stitch! could you please share the technique? :)
Outstanding!!
I had to take a second look to see that the photo you were referring to was actually your stitching and not the real thing! Well done!
Check online resources (or your library) for what might be out of print: Stitches: New Approaches by Jan Beaney -- published by Batsford Classic Embroidery, UK, last reprinted (my copy anyway), in 2005. Also A Tale of Two Stitches -- which I think has your 'cloves' in it -- by Jan Beaney & Jean Littlejohn -- expensive, Book 11 of their textile art series. Enjoy! :-0
WOW!! This is a remarkably beautiful rendition of your photo! What is the stitch called? Where can I learn to do it?
