Hi Sarah,
I note the e-book completion bar is excitingly close, at 190/210.
Perhaps you could post a list of the last 20 stitches you would like photos for? I’m sure many contributors would be happy to create pieces featuring whichever stitches you need!
Blessings,
AA
Hi Alison,
That’s a great idea! There are many stitches for which I desperately wished someone would provide samples. And I guess it will be good if I just list it out there. 🙂
I am sorry for the double post. I thought the first had not posted. Do you need a description for the other picture (the blue flowers)?
This picture is from a challenge I completed back in 2010. The Koi fish is silk ribbon embroidery using mostly straight stitch with some split stitches. The head uses the same stitches with silk thread, not ribbon. The gold outline is an outline stitch using Krenick thread. The eye is satin stitched. The waves are just ribbon that is shaped and tacked down with small stitches. The lace to the right is attached with detached lazy daisy or chain stitch using silk perle thread (size 5? maybe). There are many more to share from this piece, but I cannot continue to post right now.
Beautiful work. I am also interested in your profile picture as my name is also Karen and I used to have a black and white cat and a smaller, younger black cat. I appreciate the detail of these photos of your work but am interested in seeing the entire piece. Thanks!

Here is an example of bullion stitch done in overdyed silk floss. The green stitching is the fly stitch and fern stitch. It is eventually to be a crazy quilt pincushion.

This is beautiful Rucha. Thanks for posting. Your picture has some kind of shadow towards the bottom. Will it be possible for you to repost a better picture in higher resolution? I will be happy to use it!
