CQ Detail 195

Detail:

This seam is covered with two lines of laced arrow stitches that have been tied at the corners with contrasting thread. I did this by weaving the thread over and under the arms of the arrow stitches. Along the middle of the seam I worked upright cross stitches. I then tucked seed beads along the seam.

Thread:

Perle # 5

Placement on block: 

This seam runs along the join of piece 1 and piece 2  on block 29
