Details 652 on my Freeform Embroidery Sampler

The photo below is a detail on section 49 on my Love of Stitching Band Sampler.

These bands run vertically down the sampler but I have turned the photo on its side. These details are on the sampler created to celebrate the year of the Tiger.

Stitches Used:

From the top of the photo downwards the stitches used are couching using  orange cotton perle # 5 secured with yellow thread.

I added some beads before working a coral knot in a hand dyed silk thread, followed by couching. The old gold silk thread was laid down in long stitches and secured using a red orange cotton perle # 5.

The bright yellow is Palestrina stitch and the bottom stitch in the photo graph is threaded chain stitch. I worked a line of chain stitch and laced it with a reddish orange hand dyed silk thread.

Fabric:

The foundation fabric is a hand dyed 18cnt Aida

Date:

This section of the sampler was worked February 2010.
