On the unique leaf design (which was introduced in Half 1 of Harvest Hues), there are two half components. One is in the direction of the tip of the leaf and the opposite alongside the vein of the leaf in the direction of the bottom.
Within the diagram above, you’ll be able to see the half components highlighted in shade.
Within the pattern leaves, these half components are embroidered a pair other ways: utilizing the identical padded daisy sew approach defined in this previous Monday’s lesson masking the bigger spherical components, or utilizing bullion stitches for the petals.
The half aspect above is a mix of bullion knots, straight stitches, and French knots.
The bullion knots are all labored with three or 4 strands of floss, relying on how heavy you need them. Within the pattern above, I used 4 strands of floss, as a result of I needed good fats bullions.
The straight stitches are labored with three strands of floss, as are the French knots within the middle.
Work the petal components first, after which fill the middle, when you’re utilizing French knots or beads as your middle filling.
On this pattern, I used bullion knots and French knots. The bullion knots are labored with 4 strands of floss within the lighter yellow. Then I used two strands of orange-yellow (the darker yellow) and I labored satin stitches very fastidiously over the bottom of every bullion, to get the two-toned shade on the bullions.
The French knots are labored with three strands of the sunshine inexperienced.
A number of of the half components are padded daisy sew flowers, embroidered with the identical methods as the total padded daisy sew flowers.
Within the pattern above, the middle is half of a woven wheel. In the event you resolve to work your middle on this technique – or possibly as half of a ribbed wheel – be sure to embroider the middle first after which work the padding and the daisy stitches.
On this specific pattern, I used the variegated inexperienced for the daisy stitches and I labored a brown straight sew within the middle of every daisy sew.
On the pattern above, the padded daisy sew options French knot facilities.
Small ideas of brown are embroidered between the petals utilizing tiny straight stitches simply between the information of the petals, and utilizing only one strand of brown.
It’s simply there so as to add a bit tip of contrasting shade between the outer ideas of the petals.
And right here, you’ll be able to see one other instance labored the identical approach, however in a distinct shade scheme.
