Filling Patterns of Section 2 II

The middle part of the pomegranate should have an openwork pattern. Therefore the thread withdrawing is made 2:2. The grid is secured with Cable stitches (coton à broder No. 30).

Filling pattern “Needle-weaving stitches with spiders” (Openwork Pattern Samplers, pages 72 and 73) is embroidered with coton à broder No. 20 .

The sides of the pomegranates do not receive any thread withdrawing. With coton à broder No. 16 horizontal Daisy stitches are worked adjacent to the openwork pattern area. The outer area is decorated with Feather stitches.

I embroider a tendril of monastery stitch/overlay stitch on the fluffed bird with coton à broder No. 16 and No. 30.

The little heart receives a 2:2 thread withdrawing and only a Cable stitch grid (coton à broder No. 20).

I like the tiny tulip buds better without any additional filling.

The daisies could be decorated with a daisy stitch with a very long overlay stitch in each petal. I gave up on it.

This means that Section 2 II also received its filling patterns.

Filling Patterns of Section 3 I

The areas of the tiny hearts are very small. They will not receive a thread withdrawing. Using 2 strands of the 6-ply stranded cotton, Satin stitches are embroidered from the central axis to both sides, falling towards the base of the leaf.

The wings of the next bird get a thread withdrawing of 2:2.

The filling pattern “Diagonal Cross Filling–French Variation/half with a gap” Openwork Pattern Samplers, pages 35-37) is embroidered (coton à broder No. 20).

The birds’ bellies are given a less conspicuous pattern in contrast to the conspicuous wing pattern. To do this, threads are only withdrawn horizontally 3:1.

Back Honeycomb Darning stitch is done with coton à broder No. 20.

As with all other stitches, they look more prominent after washing.

The circles receive a thread withdrawing of 3:1.

The filling pattern consists of alternating Satin stitch bars and rows of Four-Sided stitches (coton à broder No. 20) arranged at right angles to the center.
All Satin stitches are embroidered first because the Four-Sided stitches bundle fabric threads and it is difficult to stitch between the bundled fabric threads afterwards.

This means that Section 3 I also received its filling patterns.

Filling Patterns of Section 3 II

The divided flowers receive a thread withdrawing of 3:1.

They are decorated with a pattern of alternating rows of Satin stitches and backsided Four-sided stitches using coton à broder Nr. 20.

For the large heart, the thread eithdrawing is made 2:2; The resulting grid is secured with Cable stitches (coton à broder No. 30).

The Rose stitch pattern No. 575 is embroidered into the openwork grid with coton à broder No. 20.

The small pomegranates do not receive any thread withdrawing. The outer parts are Chain stitched (coton à broder No. 30) along the outer edge.

On the inner edges, eyelash stitches are added (coton à broder No. 20) along the Coral Knot stitches.

The middle parts of the small pomegranates are finished with irregularly spaced French Knot stitches, each with 3 wraps (coton à broder No. 20).

This means that Section 3 II also received its filling patterns.

Filling Patterns of Section 4 a I

With the cloverleaf, the central axes are first withdrawn so that the patterns can be arranged in mirror images on the opposite surfaces.

Based on this, a Limet grid is withdrawn 3:1.

The square eyelet filling pattern “Divided Hearts” (Limetrosen I, page 53) is embroidered with coton à broder No. 25.

The bird’s wings receive a thread withdrawing of 3:1.

Embroidered into the Limet grid is a variation of Rose stiches (coton à broder No. 30)- please see picture 3-6 here.

Satin stitches are worked into the mini hearts with 2 strands of 6-ply stranded cotton from the center line outwards and rising to the tip.

The petals of the small bellflowers are initially only given a border with Chain stitches (coton à broder No. 30). It could stay that way.

But I added a row of Chain stitches with coton à broder No 16 in the middle.

I didn’t like that, so I wrapped these Chain stitches using coton à broder No. 16.

This means that section 4 a I has also received its filling pattern.

Filling Patterns of Section 4 a II

In order to adapt the thread withdrawing of the small circles to the unevenweave of the fabric, the thread withdrawing is made is 4/3:1.

A star pattern is embroidered – coton à broder No. 25.

The large tulip receives a special thread withdrawing to accommodate a variation of filling pattern No. 570 – thread withdrawing 5-3-3-5:3.

Satin stitches are worked in a zigzag shape over the groups of 5 threads.

The remaining rows are embroidered with 3-sided rose stitches.

The tip of the tulip receives a thread withdrawing of 2:4

and is embroidered with filling pattern 576 using coton à broder No. 25.

The wing of the little bird seems to me to be too small for a filling pattern with a thread withdrawing. Therefore, the area is filled with Chain stitches (coton à broder No. 20).

However, the edges are unclean, so as an exception a Chain stitch round is worked over the edge (coton à broder No. 30).

The Mini Bleeding Heart receives a thread withdrawing of 2:1

and as a filling pattern Cable stitches worked with coton à broder No. 30.

Section 4 a II is now finished embroidered.
