More Jacobin

Back to my hole,

Oooh look! An artsy photo!

But It's a fun hole, full of embroidery technique to practices your skills on.

 

 

And now that it is back to gloomy I can prove that I actually went outside for a while

 with this lovely pinkish color I have picked up! 

 

 

Battlement couching, burden stitch, flyleaf and raised stem

 

 Why is it I never take photos of a thing 

till I'm halfway finished with it?

pictures are best in sunlight though.

 

Anyway having fun here so it don't matter

Progress!

 

 

 Lest you think this happens overnight 

I have been working on this thing since November.

So many stitches here from Padded buttonhole with bullion picots, to more battlement stitch, satin stitch, Flyleaf stitch, a crapton, (I  have it on good authority, that is a valid measurement!) of french knots.

I an determined to finish this someday........

Jacobin embroidery

I have fallen into this hole

 

 

 

 

This Jacobin embroidery hole

That goes on

Satin, weaving and buttonhole

And on

Stem stitch roses

  

And on

Satin, woven filling, lazy daisy

Oh my god it goes on

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But I am having so much fun with the different techniques

 

 

 Which makes this a fun hole to be stuck in

and as it it is sunny here for a few days, till it goes back to the usual seasonal gloom and incessant rain, 

I am doing this outside on the back deck, getting a pink glow two hours at a time.

 

 With my constant companion, Violet

 

 

 

 

 Molly is less impressed

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I am working out of Tatiana Popova's book but drafted my own version of her design
