Wheat is the challenge on Every Inchie Monday this week. I have drawn a wheat kernel, showing the structure, and a few ears of wheat. For the sewn one, I used bullion knots for the ears of wheat and stem stitch for the stalks.
your inchie had me racing to you tube to see what bullion knots are - I've been embroidering since I was a child and I've never seen that stitch - looks a lot like a long French knot - I'm going to try it. great inchies - the kernel of wheat is a great idea
Wendy, as always, such impeccable detail, on all of them!!! Beautiful work!! I always enjoy seeing what you will do each week!!! :0) Have a great one!! :0) Share Humanity
These are great ways to show off your all your different talents and create something with "wheat"!

Lovely bullion knots - it's along time since I worked one. I like the inclusion of the diagram explaining the components of a wheat grain.
