Otherwise, they just laided next to each other.<br />I stitched the channels on the bias, which helped to give more flexibility, and a bit more texture to the channels as they ruched a bit when the cord was inserted.<br />SandySandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04978514536651961190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34360380.post-76844060688018674502010-08-14T11:36:19.501-05:002010-08-14T11:36:19.501-05:00This is great looking almost real.

I also like that the border is not quite square giving it a more real appearance.Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03406889653812798530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34360380.post-70766920189679431502010-08-14T11:08:02.817-05:002010-08-14T11:08:02.817-05:00Sandy I am so glad you could do this and post it. ...Sandy I am so glad you could do this and post it. It is a very interesting piece. I love the texture you have been able to create. What I like best about this piece is the extra dimension the hand stitched herring-bone stitch gives... excellent.. it really 'makes' the tree bark!Carolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14402284255342698129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34360380.post-56002876447972598262010-08-12T21:33:19.107-05:002010-08-12T21:33:19.107-05:00Well done Sandy, it must have been fun to recreate...Well done Sandy, it must have been fun to recreate the wonderful texture.Art by Rhoda Forbeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18344536110987658212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34360380.post-69314699115982057852010-08-12T18:00:46.581-05:002010-08-12T18:00:46.581-05:00Sandy, you really captured the texture of bark.

I also approve of the not-quite-rectangle shape!Tobihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02785718824274557955noreply@blogger.com
