masterstitch.co.uk: Pulled Thread Bouquet

   I have just finished this & as you can see it is in the raw, not
mounted. I have worked it on a 28count linen although in the photo it
looks like a water marked taffetta!!!  Elaine

	Thank you. The raised areas in the half flowers are french knots, the edgings are a mixture of double knot stitch, portugese knot st.& a whipped chain. The stems are all raised band. The filling stitches were wave st, drawn fabric satin st in steps, reversed faggot st., 4sided st leaving a thread of fabric between each square, really pretty, & ringed back st. It was a good learning curve!! Elaine

	That looks great!! I do enjoy Pulled thread. I might get my act together and get some done. I have my 12 year old daughters birth stitching I have not finished yet which is pulled thread.
	Design a great day, Janet M. Davies - New Zealand http://www.jmddesigns.co.nz/

	I have found it very difficult to get pulled thread designs here in Australia as they concentrate on drawn thread. I loved your design. Great work. Sandy

	Thanks Sandy, in the past I have used designs of flowers, butterflies etc as long as they have reasonable areas to fill in & used my own pick of pulled thread stitches. This design however did come in a pulled thread book, Drawn Fabric Work by Hettie Van Huyssteen, & I also use Mary Frys Pulled Thread Workbook. I really enjoy creating my own designs though.We had our first Guild meeting for the year today with a goo turn out of members. Great to catch up after the long summer break & see what every one has achieved over the holidays. There was a lovely skite table. Elaine

	Sort of like a show & tell . we always have a display of what we have finished over the past fortnight between meetings. Because of the long summer break, 2 months, there was a real table full. Elaine
