Taking flight
This project contains stumpwork
It is in fact an embroidery that we had made several years ago but which needs a good rejuvenation. I propose you accompany me in this process.
The purpose of this work is to embroider butterflies and insects using different techniques including stumpwork.

Raspberries
The stems are embroidered in stem stitch with 1 thread.
The leaves are embroidered in blanket stitch with 2 threads. All the stitches start from the base of the leaf and are embroidered fan-shaped. To obtain pretty sharp leaves, I fix the stitch to the top and I continue to embroider on the other side of the leaf.
Here is the picture of the completed leaves.
