Mediterranean Flavors

Yesterday I worked on Mediterranean Flavors from Dimensions.


I primarily focused on backstitching tonight, which is not my favorite thing to do. I love the way it makes a piece pop, don't get me wrong, but it's not my favorite part of the stitching process. I wanted to get the right half of the piece backstitched, though, before I move on to finish the left. Backstitch is more bearable when done in phases!


All of those grapes, though, are definitely a pain to backstitch! Ha!

Until next time!

  2. I agree with back stitching. Although it does seem like it goes faster than crosses do. It's looking great!

  4. Beautiful progress! I do get lazy when it comes to backstitch but have to face it, it does highlight the objects, just look how pretty that onion is! Love the colors:)

  5. I feel the same about back stitching but it certainly finishes the design off - this is looking beautiful.

  7. Looking good :) Totally agree, backstitching can be a pain but it does finishes off designs beautifully. Good idea to do it small parts.

  8. I'm weird (we all know that) I enjoy backstitching. I think the way it makes the design pop is so fantastic. Great job on your piece.
