More chain stitch letters

I really love how easy it is to chain stitch letters … Why have I never tried it before?

Today I tried a couple variations – first I took the word strength from yesterday and “wrapped” the stitch with a slightly darker thread. I LOVE this look.

Then I stitched the word LOVE and did a back stitch through it with a darker thicker thread.

    That is so cool. This takes me back to the old days :) I used to sit and hand embroider at night after doing chores and homework. I loved that time in my life. it was so quiet and peaceful.
