CQtober 2024 - Seam 15, Maidenhair Stitch
#CQtober2024 Maidenhair stitch is a variety of feather stitch, so you know it's one of my favorites! I've used this one on a number of projects. I was undecided about what color to stitch the main seam. At first, I was going to use green (my favorite!). But as I started stitching, I realized it wasn't the right color. So I switched to the burgundy thread! It was perfect for this seam! The contrast of color made the stitching so much more visible! Then I used the green to stitch two lazy daisies on the lower branch. And a variegated orange to stitch a cluster of three French knots on the inside branch. I love the way it turned out! It's a simple and yet elegant seam! A huge thank you to Valdani Threads for the lovely threads they gave me, that I'm using for this project! I love their variations and that they have such a variety of colors in their size 12 range, which is my favorite size perle cotton to stitch with! The video is up on YouTube! Happ
