The harmonious combination of the various cotton fibers and the variety of stitches expresses clearly on canvas a lovely French Nosegay. Canvaswork techniques include composite stitches, composed of several colors and values which recreate the effect of calico fabric.
Pattern couching and surface stitchery on canvas add contrast in texture.
An unusual canvaswork stitch simulates the crinkled paper wrapper of the nosegay. A subtle quilted effect is created in the border. Suitable for framing.
