For Debbie...

 



My piece for Debbie started with fabrics lace and bits and pieces I had previously dyed in Aqua. I remembered Debbie previously mentioning her love of Herons, so that was something I wanted to include.
I started by drawing the bird onto some medium weight Lutdradur. I then cut it out and attached it with a fine Herringbone stitch.  The lace was attached with a double Herringbone stitch. I used the Pistol stitch for the reeds, the background and attaching the buttons. I finished by attaching a lace trim with a Beaded Herringbone stitch.
Thank you for your interest.
