Detail:
Along the edge of this ribbon I used straight stitches in an arrow pattern
Thread:
The thread is a DMC metallic thread that is gold with a black twist of thread spun with it. It comes on a reel and named “antique gold”. It is marked Made in Belgium and would have to be one of my all time favourite metallic thread for hand work
Placement on block:
This seam is the meeting edge of piece 1 and piece 7. The block diagram was published when I introduced block 27
