Serendipty Days 16-20 of 25

Day 16. Needlepoint Stem Stitch

DMC Pearl #5 for the outer portions and DMC Pearl #8 down the center.

Day 17. Simple Bargello Line Pattern

Here’s a bargello pattern (over 3 canvas threads not the usual 4) using Watercolours 197 Monsoon for a murky water.

Day 18. 5 x 3 Darning Stitch

Also Watercolours 197 Monsoon for another murky water. It would be better if the canvas had been painted.

Day 19. Milanese Stitch

It probably has less movement when done in all one color but still would seem too busy for most backgrounds.

Day 20. Surrey Stitch

You can’t be loopy and try this stitch! It feels more secure than Turkey work. Except for that one strand, it stands up nicely.
