SBQ: Most Complicated Piece?

I’m behind on the Stitch­ing Blo­qqer Ques­tions, so I’ll do them for the next few days.

What is the most com­pli­cated piece you’ve ever completed?

I’m try­ing to fig­ure out how to judge how com­pli­cated some­one else would judge a piece to be. Size? Dif­fer­ent types of stitches? Embellishments?

Elemental CosmosFor sheer cussed­ness, though it was worth it, I’d have to say that the Ele­men­tal Cos­mos piece designed by Witches Stitches prob­a­bly takes the cake. It didn’t use blended nee­dles or spe­cial fibers or stitches, but there were lots of lit­tle sec­tions of “three stitches this color, four of that color, one stitch of another” and so on. I had to do a lot of frog­ging, too, before I fig­ured out some of the tricks of work­ing on black fab­ric. It’s beau­ti­ful, though!

Mélange from Cal­ico Cross­roads was the first piece I did that really used a lot of dif­fer­ent stitches. I enjoyed it greatly.

    I really love the Ele­men­tal one. It’s one of my top 5 favorites of the pieces you’ve done. The other one is the one with all the African glyphs.

    They’re both very beau­ti­ful :)
