New Stitch Monday – Cashmere & a Few Variations

New Stitch Monday – Cashmere & a Few Variations

One handy stitch to have in repertoire is the Cashmere stitch.  It a great stitch to use when you are stitching bricks or patios.  It can be used in small spaces and best of all you can jazz it up.  The 2 Alternating Cashmere stitches use the Smyrna Cross or a plain cross stitch in the center and these can be used as borders.  If you do one of these consider using a different colored thread or a metallic thread in the center.  The same can be done with the Cashmere Checker Stitch.   Cashmere Variation 1A would work very well with an over-dyed thread.  As with all of my suggestions play around with your threads to get the perfect look that you desire.  Give them a try!

Happy Stitching – Stephanie

New Stitch Monday – Stitches for Snow

New Stitch Monday – Stitches for Snow

The seasons are changing, the aroma of the fireplaces is lingering in the air so winter is on my mind.  This week I thought I would share some stitches that I think are good when you are stitching snow.  You should choose your threads based on if you canvas is 18 or 13 count.   Some threads that would give you the look of snow are Entice, Snow, Kreinik and Silk Lame Braid.   I also like to blend threads so for an 18-count canvas I might use 3-4 strands of Splendor and 1 strand of Silk Lame Braid Petite or 2 strands of Accentuate.  You may need to play around with the threads until you get the look you want.  You can also alternate between the metallic threads and your base thread.  Give them a try!

Happy Stitching – Stephanie
