There are hundreds of embroidery stitches in the world. Some are simple, and some – are more complex. Some embroidery stitches are made for outlines, while others work best for borders or lettering. Also, there are many stitches for filling. We might group filling stitches by how much surface they cover and how much fabric […]
Whilst I was away week nineteen crept up on us Tiny pebbles and fringes. Week twenty occurred as I was in the air homeward bound. The fabric scraps came rom a favourite piece of fabric used as a wipe-up cloth during a dye session years ago. Must have been years ago because there are soft indications of purples and pinks Haven't used them for years. Looking back over a string of weeks. How will I bring these all together into a meaningful piece? That is what is ruminating in my mind now. Will they be more meaningful assembled on a scroll like the Daily Scratchings? Will they better suite a large rectangular shape? What about a book? Or a concertina type format? How about just hanging them in a long row of individual pieces? Endless possibilities. Decisions, decisions! Week twenty one brings the Crumbs up to date. A cruciform with a woven heart on a quiet dotted background. Have a great Victoria Day, Canada

Zoals ik al eerder liet zien, is het geen stoplap geworden, maar een stoprolletje, geborduurd in de kleuren rood, blauw en een beetje ecru. Ik had nog enkele klossen in voorraad en het leek mijn handig om één daarvan voor mijn stoprol te gebruiken. De kleur ecru heb ik slechts in twee stoppen gebruikt. Volgens het patroon waren ook vier randen in ecru aangegeven, maar het contrast met de ondergrond was minimaal, daarom heb ik de betreffende randen ook in blauw en rood geborduurd. In het vorige logje liet ik de eerste 4 pagina's van het patroon zien... en dit zijn de laatste 6 pagina's. Aan de bovenzijde van het rolletje heb ik een lint door het tunneltje geregen en met dit lint kan ik het lapje in opgerolde toestand vastzetten door het aan beide zijden op de klos te wikkelen. Dit is op de eerste foto duidelijk te zien. Nu nog een opbergzakje/tasje verzìnnen voor dit "stopklosje".

How to embroider knife points? As already mentioned in Schwalm Designs – Knife Points (1) the decoration can be worked in different ways. First the design is transferred to the fabric – here using a DEKA iron transfer pencil. Coral Knot stitches are worked along the circle line. Messerspitzen are made with Satin stitches. This is the easiest way of working knife points. The center axis of each point is marked as a guideline. In a circle design this is easy: The line should run through both the center and the top of the point. All stitches of each point should lie parallel to this guideline. The stitches are placed close together following the design outline exactly. The longest stitch should be distinctly longer than the adjacent stitches. In this way a sharp point can be established. The first and the last stitch of each point should be very short. You want the knife points to be placed exactly next to one another to establish an attractive knife point decoration. Working knife points with Blanket stitches (geschnürte Messerspitzen) is very similar. However, the loops in the Blanket stitches make it impossible to place the Blanket stitches as close together as Satin stitches. A guideline is not necessary to work pointed half-eyelet scallops (Schnürlochspitze) because all Blanket stitches are worked around a center point. For the first stitch, the needle comes up in the middle of the base of a knife point. The first Blanket stitch is worked to the left, and the thread is thightened. In addition, the center hole is widened a little bit with the help of a needle. This will enable all stitches for this knife point to be be placed orderly. To get a sharp point, the longest stitch should be distinctly longer than the adjacentstitches. The three center stitches should be placed as close together as possible; so it is sometimes necessary to push the center stitch a little bit aside to work the next stitch. The pointed half-eyelet scallops establish a nice decoration when the embroidery is washed and the remaining blue colour has disappeared. You will see the result in future posts.

I have decided to use this new venue as a way of collecting and sharing the things I find on line. My Tumblr account is set up like a scrap book. When you press on a image, the actual picture comes up. Press again, and you are directed to the original source! The name I chose for it 'MOTHTALES', alludes to the ephemeralness of those lovely lowly creatures and the tales they spin in their worldly travels. Like the 'here today - gone tomorrow' aspect of the moth, and my own 'flights of inspiration' - my Tumblr is a tool for me. You might see something there today that you like, but it may not be there tomorrow... Ulla www.ullam.typepad.com
