There are so many pulled work stitches that I was in more danger of running out of patience than of running out of stitches.<\/p>\n

Star Stitches in the heavier thread create a strong horizontal divider, with the colour change rippling across the fabric.<\/p>\n

Then I worked two pulled work stitches each at two different scales. One of the patterns creates something a little like festooned curtains, another creates the effect of a tiled roof. Although I worked this many years ago, this playing with scale is something that, when I was doing the Tudor and Stuart Goldwork Masterclass<\/a>, I came to realise was a very important element of stitch choice and effect.<\/p>\n

Again the heavier thread made a good divider, this time a dagged edge straight out of medieval heraldry, and then Wave Stitch ( the right- hand picture – possibly not pulled tightly enough!) and a brick pattern follow on.<\/p>\n

I still cannot recall what I had in mind when I started this piece, except, perhaps, that I wanted to use the citrus-coloured thread for something. I think that if I were to start this again, I would work a narrower sampler and start by working the pulled stitches in a fine self-coloured thread. It seems to me now tht the pattern of spaces might be more interesting, in fact, than the stitches themselves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
