'Patched and Pieced ' Stitching



Starting to stitch and taking it slowly, bit by bit.


I placed it on a muslin backing and tacked it into place, using Jude Hill's method and it has made it nicer to work, feeling more like a whole cloth.


I am using some Kantha type border stitches in places.

  2. Love the texture and varied stitch - and of course the black and white. It'll be fascinating to see where it goes ...

  3. Lovely stitching and great contrast. I believe the stitching where you are looping the thread under and around the base tacking is called banjara.

  4. I am completely entranced by this and your previous black and white post Jackie. I haven't been keeping up with my bloghopping and look what I have been missing out on! Beautiful work and marks.
