Sempre nell'ambito del crazy ho aderito alla sfida di Sharon Boggon che dal sul blog http://inaminuteago.com/blog/index.php/ ogni martedì propone uno dei punti classici di ricamo e invita a provare delle varianti personali.
Il punto di questa settimana è il "Buttonhole stitch" il così detto punto asola o festone che nella tradizione del ricamo classico si usa per l'intaglio.
This week stitch for the "take a stitch Tuesday" challenge is the Buttonhole stitch, in the classic Italian embroidery it's used for making "intaglio" or to finish a border of a table cloth or bed linen. The thread used is DMC muliné (two or three strands depend from the fabric) and the stitches are very close each other. When the embroidery is completed the fabric aroun is cut away. I made the curtains in my bathroom and in my sitting room in intaglio

Lorenza this is beautiful!!
Beautiful work! So graceful, are the lines in this I'm fascinated by it. Thank you for showing it.
Beautiful work. Thank you for sharing such great pictures of it.
I agree, this is beautiful.
Beatiful. And you have reminded me of a dressing table set I started using cut work many years ago. I will have to find them. I didn't know it was Italian and called intaglio then.
Wonderful work as ever, Lorenza, I especially like the iris!
