FLOWERS,
BUTTERFLIES AND CANADIAN FLAG
The flowers,
butterflies and Canada flag are for any levels of stitchers. The
easiest of the designs is the black and red butterfly 3 and the
hardest of the designs is the Canada Flag.
Working the embroidery: The
Shadow Work stitch is a simple backstitch worked on the front of the
work
alternating back and forth along two lines that are parallel to each other
(bands), on the back of the work herringbone is
created by the stitches crossing from one edge of the
band to the other. The herringbone shows through the fabric
at the front of the work as an opaque band. The ends of the threads
are easily finished off in the stitches at the back of the work
so that they do not show up obviously in the embroidery. Each
design can be displayed in a card window mat or in a clear perspex
frame or in a clear perspex key ring (please see the pictures on the
left and below). Each of these frames can be purchased separately
below and mounting instructions are included in the booklet.
The
instructions includes diagrams for working the herringbone stitch
and finishing ends and an enlarged picture of the back of the
embroidery so you can see how the herringbone stitch lays. I
also explain how to mount the embroidery can be mounted so that the
embroidery can be displayed from both sides.

I
recommend stretcher bar frames to work Shadow Work in as you can get
excellent tension on all four sides of the embroidery resulting in
smoother stitches. For information about the frames visit my Embroidery
Frames webpage. (Parcel Mail costs apply to stretcher
bar frames).
