So, another month has come
to an end, and it is time to rewind it and see what happened on
Stitch Floral during this time. And apart from remembering the posts
and making sure you didn't miss anything, let's also take a peek into
July plans and I will tell some exciting news!
June Round-up
We started this month with
the post about covering up your mistakes in hand embroidery.
The post is quite specific, taking into consideration only a few
particular stitches and a particular situation. However, it can be
applied to many other instances in your hand embroidery routine.
I just hope that you
remember, that 1). we all do mistakes no matter your experience and
skills, 2). sometimes we all want to slack off a little and look for
an “easy” way out rather than picking out stitches, 3) there are
times and situations when picking out your stitches is not even that
good of an idea (more on that in the post).
Read the post for a
couple of “lifehacks” that might make your hand embroidery
experience a bit easier :)
We also learned a few new stitches! And they are one of my favorites ones, at that.
There are many stitches
and techniques that I adore with my all my heart and LOVE love seeing
them applied in others' needleworks, but still haven't figured out
how to apply them in MY embroidery.
Nevertheless, I just
continue to gush over these stitches and maybe, someday, inspiration
will come, and they will appear in my designs as well :)
The new stitches from June
are the knotted line stitches: Scroll stitch, Palestrina
and Mountmellick. All of the posts contain a lot of step by
step pictures so you can practice without any worry and confusion :)
I hope you will try them
out and find a great way to use them in your works!
Lastly, our Needlepainting tips series received Part 10! When I started these posts,
I wouldn't even imagine that there would be so many parts, but here
we are! And that's not even the end, because there are still many
tips and tricks to mention.
In the latest part of Needlepainting tips, we spoke about the needlepainting rows and
how to get them right. Patterns for long and short stitching often
have the rows and patches of color marked, and even if they are not
marked, you can mark them yourself. But as you fill the area there is
one mistake you might be doing that will lead your rows to be
misplaced.
It is very easy to fix it,
though! Read the post and see step by step pictures to know how to do
it right :)
July plans
Expect my new design,
water lily “Anima” go on sale on Monday!
I'm really excited about
this launch and this design holds a VERY special meaning to me, one
that I myself didn't even expect to find in it. Well, more on that
later...
For now, I can promise you
that it will be a great way to combine long and short stitching
practice with color therapy :)
You can also expect a
freebie goodie during this month, involving some ribbon stitches!
Possibly new stitches or techniques to learn, as well.
Lastly, there will be a
giveaway on July 12th, so mark your calendars! I'm
giving you a heads-up, because I will be choosing a winner in a
matter of one day, so you better be in time to participate :)
Hope you are having a
great time this summer!
