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.

Embroidery Design - Cast on Stitch Rose

 Hi all

Hope all are doing well and had a great weekend.  Today I am happy to share with you an embroidery stitch rose.  The stitch I am talking about is cast on stitch. It is used in Brazilian embroidery and now a days it is used in most of the embroidery dresses designed in the boutiques.  It will take some time to master the stitch and only during practice we can get the tips and tricks in doing the stitch.   Back in 2019 I have practiced cast on stitch and you can view that flower here.

Today I will be sharing the design.  I didn't draw the pattern for this design.  Stitched the rose first and then randomly stitched the leaves. I have used tapestry needle to do this stitch.  Usually chenille needles are used.  Now onto the design.

I have used 3 shades of coral colours dark to light from inside out. For the leaves I have used straight stitches following the shape.  You can use fly stitch also.  

Anchor thread colours- All six strands are used.

Dark - 11 - 7 strands

Medium - 10 - 13 wraps

Light - 9 - 15 wraps

Leaves - 245 - 3 strands
