First I stamped the image on light cloth. (I have a video of the In the Moment embroidery project including tips for stamping on fabric. It can be found HERE.)
I used the Natural 1/4" Wavy Trim to embroidery the wheat. I like that wispy fibers of the trim look like the beard on a wheat stalk. To deconstruct the trim I used scissors to clip the central thread holding the trim together. Then it was easy to pull the outer threads apart. This resulted in four strands of nicely textured thread.
This picture shows the placement of the stamped images and the wheat once it was stitched.
For the vase I used In-Color Jute Trim. This has three strands of fibers twisted together. I untwisted the strands which resulted in a lovely waved fiber strand. I found that it was best to stitch with a fairly short length thread so that it did not fray too much and the waves were prominent.
To make it look like the vase was siting on something I added five long horizontal stitches. For this I again used the Natural Wavy Trim but this time I used the center strand. Instead of clipping the central strand as in the second photo above I clipped the outer strands preserving the center strand. This is a very soft and pretty strand that looks like it is chain stitched.
I throughly enjoyed making this and have a few more stamp sets that I think would be pretty stitched so you may see more embroidery projects!
