| the full back |
I thought I might do a thing, not many embroiderers do
and that is to share the back of my work
I find the backs of things have a messy beauty all their own
I do use a combination of burying my ends and starting with knots
so there is a fair number of both these techniques on show

| the big blue flower |
I also do a lot of laddering in my satin stitch instead of covering,
especially when I haven't got a ton of the thread in use
So there you are. my back is just as messy as everyone else's back
It's ok to have a messy back
Here is the finished circle spray made with ribbed filling stitch and a very variegated thread
And the whole of big blue flower at the top
