Remember this wip? I am still working on it - I updated it here and now I have some new progress to report. All the olive leaves are stitched, I used the fishbone stitch. I finally selected a green to use for the branch. I had this spool in my floss box but without a number! I think it is close to DMC 966, it is a sage green with a bit of a yellow undertone. Do you like the stitching for the branch? It is parallel lines of split stitch.
I think it goes beautifully with the purple, this is DMC #208. I am filling in the olives with concentric circles of back stitching.
It also sets off the leaves nicely. I still need to fill in all the olives, stitch the other branch and wash out my marker lines. Then of course, iron this wrinkly fabric!
I will be sure to post a picture when this is finished.
Kim,

I think it's beautiful and the color you chose for the branch is prefect! I really like the stitches you are using.The different stitches look great together! I can't wait to see it when you are done!
ReplyDeleteLooks fabulous. Love your thread and fabric choices
ReplyDeleteKim, I love that fabric!! I don't know what it will be, but I'm eager to find out! I love the branch stitches. Very clever!
ReplyDeleteLigia - Obrigado! Eu amo roxo também :)
ReplyDeleteAnnette - Thank you!
Hi Farah - It has been such a long time!! I will check out your blog :) Yes this could be used as a napkin but I think I may end up stitching the same border on the opposite edge and using this for something like a bread basket liner or cover...
Hi Darlene - Thank you! I really like the look of the mixed stitches too.
Thank you Tammy!
Angela - Thanks! The branch stitching is really quick too :)
This is going to be so very lovely - and I think a bread cover would be a perfect use for it.
ReplyDeleteLindo roxo! Estou ansiosa para ver o resultado final! Bom trabalho!
