This design is the first in a series
called Parade of Pattern which features projects that explore
common stitches in an uncommon way. In this geometric arrangement,
a single stitch, the Milanese stitch, is used to create a complete
nine-patch design. By rotating the stitch and combining units
into interesting cluster motifs, lacy patterns are formed that
resemble quilt patterns based on triangles and squares. The
design is particularly dramatic on a dark ground that punctuates
the negative open space around the shapes, but it is also attractive
when a softly shaded overdyed thread is used on a coordinated
colored ground. Finished Design Size: 13" circle or square.
The model is mounted on a band box covered with a coordinated
fabric. |
