3 D Stitching

O.k.,I've just found a site for my latest ta-da moment (the moment I
discovered 3D stitching). It's at
http://www.sewinspiring.co.uk/acatal... ch_kits.html
Too late for this year, but I can picture me stitching an entire
'Christmas Village' by next Christmas. The possibilities for 3D are
endless because it would work with all kinds of needlework. Where has
this been all my life?? lol

friend has done this etui and is in the process of putting it
together, it's going to be beautiful.

Meg Evershed 3-D cross stitch

I have full directions in two or three books, but it never seems to go
exactly right for me, a couple of times the end product has been so
poor I jettisoned the thing !
Too bad - Bobbie or I could have tried for you...

I'm not a good constructor either and can't blame it on the fact that
some instructions are poorly written. But maybe I will!!!

Oh, Maureen -

Did you have to show me that site?

Such beatiful stuff!

I've been eyeing the 3-D stuff. I did buy the book of cottages by Meg
Evershed, but haven't made any yet. (I fondle it frequently and dream,
though!) The last issue of Cross-Stitcher, which may still be on the
shelves near you (but not for long, because the new one *just* hit my
local Barnes and Noble a couple of days ago) had a pattern for a
Christmas cottage in cross-stitch, in case you want to get your feet wet
without too big an investment!

Isn't it great Sue? I really like this. And yes, I think I'll have
to hit my local Chapter's books tomorrow because they have a huge
selection of needlework and quilting magazines. I think one or two might
just fit into my Christmas stocking. (happy sigh)

This kind of needlework has been around for a long time in the
plastic canvas crowd, Glad you discovered it. I just taught a small
workshop on it at my local guild. I am doing it with the 14 count
plastic canvas. You can get a lot of detail and use floss with this
canvas. You can get more 3-d detail such as bow windows and chimneys
stitching directly onto the plastic canvas. bead make nice flowers. I
want to combine the 3d architecture with the info in embroidered know
gardens and landscape the yard in 3d too. Assembly can be tricky ...

My specialty is petit point, so I'm thinking of going 'very small',
something like 30 - 40 ct. mesh, but I'm wondering what I can do to make
a Christas (or any other) kind of light shine through the fabric. Maybe
go with a hardanger kind of work on silk mesh, and single thread....? I
didn't really want to stitch right on the plastic canvas, but liked the
idea of producing a stitched piece, then attaching it to the plastic.

Oh I have Meg Evershed's book and a stitching friend gave me a kit a few
years ago for a Christmas cottage, which I did finish. I found the assembly
went much faster when I used a curved needle to stitch the roof to the
walls, etc.

I did see it, thank you! It's very pretty, as are the other things you
stitched. I was especially impressed with the little bird stitched from
the picture next to it. Did you do that freehand or copy lines to
follow from the picture? Now I want to embroider birds on the Victorian
lamp shade I have in my living room. ))
