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.
The plants
The pattern of this project can be downloaded HERE
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.
The raspberries are embroidered in French knot with 2 threads and 2 wraps.
All the embroidered raspberries are complete.
Red currants
The stems are embroidered in stem stitch with 1 thread.
The leaves are first rimed with split back stitch 1 thread then embroidered in fishbone stitch also with 1 thread.
The currants are embroidered in French knot with Perle cotton n ° 8 and 2 wraps.
First, embroider the outline of the Ladybug with split back stitch and 1 thread.
