Hi Friends!
Another TBT stencil hop!
I used Jane LaFazio's Vines Stencil on this stitched pillow.
I used a variety of threads.
I really like the way variegated thread keeps your eye moving across the design.
I used three stitches interchangeably...
The stem stitch, back stitch and chain stitch...
I think it adds interest and movement.
The LOVE is from both Jumbo Vintage Typewriter Alphabet Stencils A-P and Q-Z.
My method is easy.
I traced the stencils onto fabric and painted in the spaces with
a combination of Fabrico Markers and All-Purpose Ink by Tsukineko.
Then I stitched around the design with specialty threads.

The word LOVE without the outline stitching.... |

It's a subtle difference...
Can you see it?
I feel that it makes a difference so I do it.
I suppose you wouldn't have to!
All you need is love!
I love how it turned out!
Another great StencilGirl project done!
Thanks for visiting. See you next time!
This is such a lovely pillow!
