Rug-Style Embroidery
This piece was laid down as a series of stripes, a sort of modified log-cabin quilt block. With some poetic license. From the stitched frame, you may deduce (correctly) that I am overly fond of Bullion Stitches.
This is what I call "Rug-Style" embroidery, because the surface is completely covered. I believe this may be a piece I stitched during several church services many years ago. The organ was in a pit, behind a low wall, and surrounded by choir members-- too tempting!
No, the Devil did not make me do it; I am perfectly capable of discovering temptation without any outside help.
