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.

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
