Motif 4 patterns

 Pattern 5 is worked with both the NN and Marlitt....you can really see the sheen in this one
 Pattern six is worked in all NN and is a satin stitch pattern that goes from a diamond to a square and seven
is more horizontal satin stitches working the NN first and coming back in with the Marlitt over two threads to create the top pattern
Pattern 8 is all NN and I even changed it a bit to add center stitches in the boxes that were created so as to more fill it in.  I will work on the center motif for this motif tomorrow!

Thanks for the nice close up photos. You can see the stitches pretty well, although not always the shine. Cameras don't "do" shine!

Very pretty regardless.

I enjoy reading your blog. Could I make a small suggestion? It would be helpful if you identified the design/designer each day when you post about your stitching. It's helpful when trying to keep track of your lovely projects.

Thanks,
Nancy

Such a pretty piece! You are doing a wonderful job laying that Marlitt. Any tips you can pass on?
