Lately I've been experimenting with whitework, redwork, and blackwork. I found a pattern created by Aimee Ray in Doodle Stiching and copied it, making a few changes. I used a maroon for most everything and coral (which looks peach in this picture) for a few of the details.
Hansel and Gretel and the trees are embroidered using the Back Stitch. A few minute details on their clothes, as shown in the picture above, are coral french knots, and the grass tufts are straight stitches. The leaves and the corners of the borders are lazy daisy stitches, and the border is a running stitch.
This can be used as a pleasant wall hanging, a pretty pillow cover, or hung in a frame on the wall.
Hope you can get ideas/inspiration from my depiction of Hansel and Gretel!
