You may recall that I started on a tablecloth using a Briggs Transfer, as my “travelling project<\/a>“. I’ve not travelled much, so progress has been somewhat spotty, but when the weather turned very warm while I was playing with my embellisher, I set the wool aside to pick up the tablecloth.<\/p>\n

\"Harebells<\/a>

Harebells Perhaps<\/p><\/div>\n

I suppose these might be harebells or bluebells or something similar?<\/p>\n

I’ve worked them in Vandyke Stitch, which creates a strong central rib on each petal. It can be a tricky stitch to get just right, because tension makes a huge difference, and I may have worked them a little too tightly.<\/p>\n

I’ve also changed each of the four appearances of this figure – there are two colours, and the disposition of those two colours isn’t quite the same in any two. It made it more interesting to stitch!<\/p>\n

\"Buds,<\/a>

Buds, Maybe?<\/p><\/div>\n

The next set of sprigs was this design element, and for this I went very old school and traditional – buttonhole wheels!<\/p>\n

Furthermore, I used the same idea as with the harebells (if that’s what they are). This time, three colours. The one nearest the stem always dark, the furthest from the stem always light, the other two different on each of the sides of the tablecloth.<\/p>\n

These two sprigs went swiftly. One heatwave, and they were done.<\/p>\n

\"Blue<\/a>

Blue Flower<\/p><\/div>\n

This blueish-purple flower won’t be so quick. The inner petals are in closed herringbone stitch. I’m getting better at that, but it is a time consuming stitch and I sometimes tie myself in knots still.<\/p>\n

The outer petals are in Basque Stitch, another one that I sometimes tangle. It’s pretty, and creates an intriguing effect. I’ve worked both petals from the base to the time, which produced a few odd contortions. But when it works, I think it’s lovely!<\/p>\n

It’s also one of my 17 UFos for 2017<\/a> – see Meredithe’s post<\/a> for more!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
