These men have been forever affected by the tapping they heardĬoming from the hulls of the destroyed and damaged ships. Hours pulling the dead, dying and burning bodies out of the flaming waters of Pearl Harbor. We must also SALUTE not only these men, but those, whom like my father, who spent 48-plus Maimed by what occurred that horrific Sunday morning. 'Lest we Forget' those who gave their lives, and those who were forever

Use floss or thread and do a running stitch between the edge of the pin setting and the outer border.The Sailor's Salute 80th Remembrance Hat is one of the best representations Honoring the United States Navy Men Who Bravely Servedĭuring the Japanese Attack on Pearl Harbor 7 December 1941. They can be used as a distraction!ĭMC: 1 strand G2 and 1 strand B1 together in the needle.Ĭut the poppy out along the outer border (approximately. The French knots are very useful if the thread painting is a little wonky. Scatter single wrap French knots randomly on the petals around the green centre. I decided I liked 7 stitches, but you can make as many as you like. Add straight stitches (or bullions) from the edge of the green centre towards the French knot. If you do bullions, use a single strand of DMC or 3 strands of Piper's.īefore adding straight/bullion stitches, first make a single wrap French knot in the middle of the satin stitched centre. I did bullions on my first examples and straight stitches on the rest. Switch to G2 for the stitches on top of G1. Outline the centre with split stitch in G1 and satin stitch over the top with G1. I also used the black stitches on petals 1 and 2 to help define the edges of 4 and 5 by putting stitches right along the edges of the upper petals. Notice that I made sure to leave the edges of petals 4 and 5 red. (The version of the Piper's poppy I stitched does not have black accents, but they could be added.) Piper's Floss Silk version with completed redsĪdd scattered B1 stitches along the bottom edges of all the petals (right over the top of the underlying red stitching). Primarily R1 especially along top and edges. Optionally, trace the green and blue lines.Įnsure R3 is along the edges of the adjoining petals.Įnsure R3 is along the left edge to create contrast with petal 5.Įnsure left and right edges of petal are R1 to create contrast with underlying petals. In summary, trace the black outlines, the outer red dotted line (no, you don't need to replicate the dotted part!), and bits of the inner red line. Wanted to know where the top of the design was located. Iįound the top one useful when I was mounting into the pin setting when I Use for aligning the design on the ground fabric. Lines when you prepare to mount in the setting. A running stitch will be stitched between the two red dotted Line is the cutting line and should be traced, but it can be a Making the running gathering stitch and also with mounting. 'compass points' (north, south, east, west).

Youĭon't need to trace all of it, but I found it useful to trace the The inner line is the outer edge of the bezel/internal mounting disc. Stitch direction for the petals (tracing optional). There are lots of colours on the pattern.
