Crewel Embroidery - part 3

Hello dear readers,

The highlight of today's post is Stem Stitch. The small section, where the tendril twists around the stem (I am visualizing this to be a vine :)) is covered using stem stitch.  I started with a light shade along one edge and gradually worked my way up to darker shades. 


The first row is completed.


This picture shows first and second rows completed. 


A closer look at the two rows of stem stitch.


The final picture shows all three rows of the stem stitch. It also shows the center of the flower covered with Long and Short Stitch

Happy embroidering :)
