I have been stitching from the Texture pack from the Stitchbook project.
Sample 2b involved waiting for some white fibres to dry, so I set to on sample 3. This sample was about trapping yarns behind a piece of tulle and stitching into them. The yarn to be used could come from stash or that which was left over from the previous sample ( my homage to heather). I had used most of it already,
not a lot remained. I wanted to use all of it, but where was inspiration coming from?
I had three pieces of tulle to choose between. I had already decided to not use the black or blue but to go for the beige. However,Helen of Untangled Threads ( link here) advocated that we take each piece of tulle and see what happens to the fibres, so I did. Oh my goodness, what a big difference. I didn’t use the beige, I opted instead for using both the blue and the black tulle. It was like a penny dropping ! I found the half felt ball I had left and a pinkish piece of felt.
I had been disappointed with my first inclusion sample as I made the stitches too neat and small. Big and bold this time.
Add the yarn and the tulle, I think you can just see that I used the blue and the black. Stitches include, spiders web, fern stitch, running stitch, stab stitch, couching, rice stitch and bullion knots.
And as I stitched, evening drew in, and nature followed stitcher.
Here are my two samples together on the page.
I have enjoyed stitching these two so much. Just got my fluffy white threads sample and that will be it till October. Can’t wait.
They look amazing, can’t wait for my pack to arrive 🙂

I am, definitely in my comfort zone, but expect to be out of it in a few months. This has been a nice warm up for me. Quilting and sewing the other end of the scale terror wise.

Always good to ground yourself in your comfort zone – in between terrorising yourself.
