A few weeks ago, someone I follow on Twitter posted one of those "the words you see will determine your 2021 focus" images. I usually see things like "wine," but this time, I saw words that made a bit more sense as focus for 2021. Enjoy my four words for 2021.
Details:
Stitches:
- Border: Stem stitch - I used to use the stem stitch all the time, but stopped for whatever reason. I needed to revisit the stitch over the summer when I made an embroidered portrait from a kit and the design called for a stem stitch. I couldn't remember how to start the stitch, so I found this wonderful online tutorial to refresh my memory. I've watched a bunch of Cutesy Crafts videos, and highly recommend them if you're looking for a good place to start or need a refresher like me.
- Lettering: Back stitch
Thread Palette:
- Border: DMC 4124 (6 strands)
- Lettering: DMC 817, 970, 910, 550 (3 strands)
Reference image: I don't know if this is the same one, but I saw the same four words, so there's that.
