I hope you won't be disappointed - today's Sunbonnet Sue sampler of stitches 376 to 380 does not show Sue in action.
Instead, the stitches are included in one of her bonnets.
First, let's look at some of the other creations in her millinery collection:
 |
| #256 - #260 |
 |
| #176 -#180 |
 |
| #171 - #175 |
And for today we have:
 |
| #376 - #380 |
In last week's Work In Progress Wednesday, I listed the next steps for the
Hexablooms
quilt.
I have already ticked off a few steps. Some other steps are progressing well, too.
Furthermore, I have bought batting and fabric for the back of the quilt. The fabric will have to be washed and ironed, as there is a bit too much sizing in it.
I have also drawn more hexagon templates ready to cut out. There is also a pile of fabric to be basted over the template cards. These will be used for the turned-over edge.

The #380 Valerian Stitch was the last stitch on the reference chart, which is now full and needs to be prepared with stitch numbers and names, pressed and have its supporting fabric (butterfly print) removed.
Let's review the five most recent stitches:
Homework:
How can Sunbonnet Sue use these five stitches? Let's check it out on Friday!
Since I learned to make Bullion Knots, I have made many and find it easy and quick, so this stitch was not as difficult as I thought it would be. Having said that, it DOES take time to make the bullion knots, so the more you have on your trellis grid, the longer it takes.
