I used the back stitch as a filling stitch. I really like the way this stitch worked as a fill:
I used three strands of cotton floss {DMC #321} and everywhere you see gold glints, I added a few strands of gold blending filament {Kreinik Metallics #002HL}. Now I have two more words to transfer and stitch - Peace and Noel. I am trying to decide if I want to do all three in the red/gold or maybe each one in a different color combination. Wouldn't these make a nice set of pillows for Christmas?
The back stitch looks fabulous, I'm going to try that!
ReplyDeleteWow, the result is very nice.

ReplyDeleteHi janice15 - Welcome - I am so glad you found my blog :) Thank you - have a lovely week!
Kim, this is very beautiful and would make great cushions or would be great at the ends of a table runner. Very nice. I adore that gold filament peeking through.
ReplyDeleteI found some iridescent filament at the fabric store, but it was madness trying to get to it. Our local Joann fabric store is moving to a larger space so everything has been discounted majorly, so people have been go crazy buying them out. It's mayhem.
As soon as I can get some, I hope to test it out as you have here.
Absolutely gorgeous Kim!
ReplyDeleteKristen - You will love it! The iridescent is so nice because it makes everything sparkly and goes with any other colors you are using. It is my favorite for sure. Lol - the Joann store I usually shop at recently renovated and it is sooo much nicer and easier to shop!
