Detail of Persephone's Rug for the Underworld
This is a detail of the stitching I have been doing on Persephone's Rug for the Underworld. Lately I have been doing a lot of double stitching or quilting to get more of a line.I like to use threads that show up as I think if I am going to do that amount of stitching I may as well see it! I also like to use rayon machien embroidery threads- that have that bit of extra sheen which at a distance makes the fabric seem almost velvet. I don't normally work on a couple of pieces at a time but as I am scrambling to get as much done as I can before I go to Europe next week, I have a couple of pieces on the go.
Today was another 10,000 dedicated walking step day.It really is starting to become a habit!

This looks so YUMMY. The color, the stitching...it all looks so luscious.
LOVE the stitching and the colors. These detail shots are great, as is the overall piece. But the closeups could be pieces in themselves.
