My lesson with Tracy on 1 December was a review of the progress so far and what is left to do. I am still pondering what to do about the hillocks. So far I have practised pulling out the horizontal threads to replace the surface with some weaving - I am still not certain about this so will need to think about the hillocks some more (I might put this off until I have finished the other parts) There is a LOT of trailing to do! All the shapes and stems need the outlining and I need to practise the padded stem stitch for each calix of the large motifs. The small stem on the left hand side needs attention too. My thoughts are for a raised chain stitch but this will need practise.
Homework to do before next lesson on 15 December - do as much trailing as I can and aim to complete the padded stem stitch.
