Satin Stitch Flower

Next for my flower sampler is a satin stitch flower.

I roughly drew some flowers and leaves with a disappearing ink pen.

I filled in each petal with satin stitch and the center of the flowers are french knots.

I like this tutorial for learning the satin stitch.

Take a Stitch Tuesday #13 - Satin Stitch

This week was the satin stitch for Take a Stitch Tuesday. 

I love satin stitch. I don't think I have completely mastered it but I really enjoy it. 

First up I drew a rectangle and filled it it in a reddish color floss. Definitely not my finest satin stitch but good enough. 

Then I drew a circle and filled it with black floss.

Up close!

I think the most I have ever used the satin stitch was for my first Erro embroidery piece below.

I filled the lips, finger nails, and side design with satin stitch.

For more photos of all my Erro embroidery girls, you can check them out in my Flickr set here.

See you next week!
