TAST Week Thirty-Three: Pekinese Stitch
This week's new stitch for the TAST Challenge hosted by Sharon Boggon at Pin Tangle is stitch thirty-three, Pekinese stitch. I was familiar with the name of the stitch but it is not a stitch I have ever learnt (until now!) or used and, it was a lot of fun. Sharon has posted a tutorial about it, together with some photographs of the stitch in use over on her blog.
I filled one of the larger boxes on my sampler this time and stitched three rows of Pekinese stitch. The base lines of back stitch were worked using two strands of blue cotton embroidery floss and for the laced part of the stitch I used cotton perle in pink, purple and blue.

DeleteI've never heard of a Pekinese stitch! It is pretty. She mentions in her tutorial that it can be used on fabric cards - think you'll do that? As always, I'm jealous of your sampler. ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you Linda! I really enjoyed this stitch... it is very pretty with lots of texture. I hadn't really thought about the cards.... I may give it a try! Christine x
