Christmas tree using wheatear stitch

 Hi all,

Hope all are doing well and good.  Thanks for your response for my last post of running and whipped running stitch design.  As christmas is approaching I thought of embroidering a x'mas tree using the simple wheatear stitch.  I am finishing this into a hoop wall hanging.  How to finish a design in the hoop to a wall hanging will be shown in the next post.  

This is the x'mas tree which I have embroidered. 

I have used two shades of green for the tree, brown for the base of the tree and the star is done using woven star stitch.  The base is done using satin stitch.  

Video tutorial below.  Kindly subscribe my channel.

This is before adding beads.

Pattern for the design

----------------------------------

Anchor thread numbers 

---------------------------------------

Green - 237, 245 ( 3 strands)

Brown - 375 ( 6 strands)

Red - 46 ( 6 strands)

If anybody is interested in getting a kit for this project do mail me at shamiimmanuel@gmail.com or drop in your message in the comments section.  It will be soon available in my amazon seller page. 

In my next post I will be finishing this piece into a hoop wall hanging along with the kit details.  Till then, have a nice day and have a happy time with your needle n thread. 

Updated: You can see the video of finishing the hoop into wall hanging here.

Embroidery Design - Wheatear Stitch

 Hi all

Hope all are doing well and good.  Yesterday I have shared the tutorial for doing the wheatear stitch.   Today I have posted a simple design to practice the same.  

Pattern for the design

-----------------------------

I have used two shades of green for the stalks. Start with a straight stitch for the tip.  Then proceed with the wheatear stitches till the 'v' shapes are drawn and the remaining part of the stalks are stitched with back stitch.  I have used 4 strands of threads to do the wheatear and back stitch.

After completing the wheatear stitch I have added french knots in red and yellow at the tip of the wheat ears.  I have used 6 strands of thread with 1 wrap.   This is just a simple design to practice wheatear stitch.  

Hope all of you like it.  Tomorrow I will be back with a finished crochet square.  Till then, have a nice day.
