The stitches. “Sharon B” does such a fabulous job with her Stitch Dictionary, that I am just going to link you there to see how these stitches are made. I use this stitch dictionary all the time and it is one of my favorite web resources ever.
Backstitch Stitched in brown with a bead added later between each stitch.
Detached Chain – Stitched in darker blue. Grouped in 3’s and used alone with a bead added.
Coral Stitch – Stitched in pale blue. I chose this because the knots echoed what I had done with the backstitch and beads. I just learned this stitch and I like it a lot.
All of my embroidery was done with perle cotton. I switch back and forth between that and regular embroidery floss.
I love this!
Your choices are so right!
Keep stitching…..
