Little Brown Jacobean update #3

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



I finished this first but had it rolled up already by the time I remembered to take photos, oops!
