I have heard of twilling for pieces of paper but not embroidery. You are doing a fantastic job.

I have never heard of it either. But love the look of it and seems like you will do some lovely work.

New to me too.... but will have to do some research and give it a try..... several of us gals get together every couple of weeks and try a new needle technique..... we have tried needle tatting, Romanian point lace and this would fit right in.
Some of us do hardanger , needle point, counted cross stitch, knitting, crocheting and the list goes on ..... but always willing to try something new. Thanks for sharing. |
If you know embroidery, you may have heard this stitch called the palestrina stitch. It's really quite simple, here's a video tute.

Thanks Jan for the link. It does look very pretty and would add a lot to needlework on quilts, etc.

I just picked up the Feb/march Quilters Newsletter mag. and found an article on twilling. It said it is an old fashioned embroidery stitch that is becoming popular again. I was intrigued by the pictures and had to try a little sample. I though it would be interesting to add to my Redwork quilt blocks. I didn't quite have it right for the first part but at A arrow indication I kind of got the hang of it. I like the raised texture it gives. Am I the only one that twilling is new to?

I love the look of it.

Never saw it before! Pretty though. I'd say it is a keeper stitch!!
|
I never heard of this before but can't wait to try it. Thanks for that great link Jan.
