Stupendous stitching

Waves

Waves

Learn It

This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
Stupendous Stitching: Adventures in Surface Design »

Difficulty:

Category: Other

Type of item: Home Decor

For: Home

Style: Romantic


Materials

Yellow batik, lace, vintage ribbons, yarn piping different threads

What was your inspiration?

The white lace was attractive to me and I wanted to include it.

What are you most proud of?

This was my first piece. It is laden with stitches. I included beads as well. Each bead is hand strung and individually tied and knotted on the back.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Take the time to listen to the class instructions before starting. Had I realized I had to leave spacing between my hand embroidery and machine stitching, the project might not be so compacted. As it was, it simply enhanced this yellow variegated fabric.

I think this is a vertical? Black on top?

You could hang it both ways. It was originally black on top.
