TAST - 2015 week 2 Blanket Stitch
July 24, 2015
I am feeling very stressed at the moment due to all the travelling that I have to do and as a result my stitching is sitting on my desk waiting for my mind to wind down a bit. But I know what I want to stitch this week in fact it is very similar to a sample of blanket stitch I have done before.
This one was stitched on cotton that I had dyed with tannin from bush leaves. I just used left over bits of threads in the thickness and colours I wanted to achieve the effect I wanted. My inspiration was the grasses that grow in the sand dunes at the back of Norfolk Beach which is on the eastern side of the island. I will restitch another version of this in silk for my card collection.
There are many other ways to use this stitch. Head over to Pintangle and have a look.
