Another extra square of slow stitching. I have used up the supplies I had packed for being away so I will have to dig out some more.
White cotton top layer on a foundation piece. I did not learn my lesson about now covering the front with fabric as well which makes for a thick piece. In all fairness, I did not have a plan when I started.
I chose strips of purple fabric in various patterns. I stitched the horizontal lines first in running stitch with purple thread from the ORTS tin.
Then I did the vertical ones with bright pink thread. Along the way I had found the lace flower I had dyed a while back and decided to use it.
I tacked it in place then added a purple circle which I over cast stitched to the piece. Then I added a lot of French Knots in yellow in the middle of that. That was very thick with 4 layers of fabric. Turned out nice.
Sylvia - I haven't visited in a while - how are you? Love your stitching project, especially since it has so much purple!
