Hedebo Style Embroidery, Knotted Loop Stitch

'Peach Delight'
° Hedebo Style Embroidery,Stitch 38: Knotted loop stitch  , 'Peach Delight'. 

Enjoyed using these threads, I bought them on holiday in Spain some years ago. Rather pleased at getting the knotted Loop Stitch border to do that wavy line, even if it does look like a NYPD badge :-) 

Hedebo - what an interesting discovery. I looked it up after last weeks stitch of the week and tried it out. It comes from a village in Denmark. Should be white on white of course but that was beyond me at the moment. Put the heart in the middle cos I plan to give it to my sister for Christmas. Not as perfect as cutwork and hardanger, and not perfect work but quite pleased with it nonetheless. Made up the heart and the design from the Hedebo idea. I like Hebedo Back Stitch because it has a little lump in the top and makes more texture and line than Detached Buttonhole Stitch. The hoops are my finger.
