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
I am interested in all types of art and crafts,including altered art, ATCs, painting, and textural crafts, especially embroidery, and felting. I also like to combine paper and fabric in mixed media art. My passion at the moment is fabric books. I love gardening, when the British weather and my bad back allows. My gorgeous grandsons and granddaughter also lure me out of my studio, that is until they are old enough not to make a mess in there

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.
Your sewn one is stunning! I love them all!
Fabulous inchies, I always look forward to seeing your sewn ones.
