I decided to change the name of this 9 block heart project because the only stitch I am using is the herringbone.
I am starting to get to know this stitch...have you ever heard about how in music conservatories, beginning students are told to play just one note over and over for long periods, so that they can gradually learn to hear the whole spectrum of sounds within it? I am feeling a little like that with this stitch: the repetition is teaching me about embroidery in a new way. The herringbone has yet to reveal itself entirely to me...or maybe...I just love the herringbone stitch the best!
Anyway, I am almost done embroidering all nine hearts, but it has been awhile since I posted, so here is one of the finished ones...
I do love that 13mm silk ribbon from River Silks around the perimeter of the heart! One spool just barely makes it all the way around...
Back to my herringbone now.... ;-)
