Over the River

For this piece the theme was " Over the River and Through the Woods" - it was a great theme and as you know got to use some of my favourite colours. Once I had completed the main sampler I thought as a grandmother one may like to put the grandchildren on the piece as a great little way to include family on a stitched piece. Therefore the instructions will read for both pieces.

This piece uses mainly the Milanese stitch in a variety of ways. There are other specialty stitches but mostly it was the Milanese that I reconfigured different ways for a pleasing look. It is all stitched in silk threads.
