This was a new stitch for me and I want to thank Mary Corbet of Needle ‘n Thread for the great video tutorial! I have been wanting to try reverse appliqué and thought the Palestrina stitch would be a good candidate to try as an outline. I used a scrap of Bali batik for the base and created the top fabric by embellishing coordinating bits of roving and teased out Kunin felt on top of a piece of lilac (Kunin) felt. I ironed the base to a piece of fusible Peltex before stitching and beading. This was just a small experiment (2 ½ x 3 ½ in.) but it might be worth some further exploration…

Lovely colors and the stitching is great.
I tried some reverse applique for a mola (I am in Colombia now, I have to try to make a mola:), and your idea is great!
Further exploration? You bet.......
Great stitch sample. Those colors are WOW!
Thanks, Micki, Corina, Kay and Terri for your sweet comments!
Corina, I love molas - they are so beautiful!
