I never thought of the Burden Stitch Sampl...Margo,<br /><br />I never thought of the Burden Stitch Sample as a moon. I just got a drinking glass from the kitchen and drew round it. I did not want a square and did not feel it necessary to fuss with creating a design.<br />In the horse, the Gold thread is under the stitching and forms those horizontal ridges. I agree that is a waste but a more solid effect was needed for the horse. It is also easier to stitch Burden Stitch as a solid filling. It is keeping all the spaces even which is the problem. The top stitching of the horse is DMC Floss I think but it is hard to tell because of the glass in front of it.<br /> Or Nue, which is another GoldWork technique, also covers up the gold thread, or most of it anyway. It is another pain to stitch.<br /><br />Wishing you happy stitching, Ann B.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18153269217959611136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3132271772735719679.post-92046967534909225712013-09-11T07:05:35.936-04:002013-09-11T07:05:35.936-04:00I love your moon sampler--and I especially like th...I love your moon sampler--and I especially like that you showed us how you finished it. The fabric and felt is inspired.<br /><br />Your horse is breathtaking, but I have to ask--which is the gold thread--the filling stitch or the top stitches? It would seem a waste to use gold underneath and then cover it up. I don't know much about goldwork though. It is a really stunning picture!<br /><br />MargoMargo Brookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04363240449591513063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3132271772735719679.post-80237902893410211312013-09-09T17:11:24.790-04:002013-09-09T17:11:24.790-04:00Ann, thank you for this wonderful tutorial.
