 Reverse Chain Stitch start.

Triple Lily Ornament

Kit + Instruction:  Melinda Sherbring

Two Day workshop via zoom.

 Practice stitching.   Learning the Ceylon Stitch, Elizabethan Double Ladder / w/curve.     I've never learned stitching on plastic canvas.   There are pros and cons - yet, it is easier to view at a glance, how the stitches are created.

 Raised Stem stitch, Raised Back Stitch, Raised Guilloche on cords.

 Practice for the 'finishing' edges. Double Edged Chain. Single Edged Chain. Linked Chains. Double Edged Linked Chains.  So, if ever I complete the lily piece, these are the options for completion.....
