The Stem Stitch with Buttonhole Loop is easy and quick! Try it!
When you pull the Buttonhole Loop, the loop changes into a cross, so maybe the correct name would be Stem Stitch with Buttonhole Cross?

For this Work In Progress Wednesday report, I have a start. It is time to make the three annual Hina Hanging Dolls ornaments. One of them is almost done.
Hanging Hina Dolls Ornament
This particular ornament is made up of two mirrored parts, one of which has some embroidery. The two parts are now being fixed together with glue and will later be joined with stitches as well. I will show you the completed work next week.
Furthermore, I have drawn, cut out and will start assembling the other two ornaments later this week.
Hexablooms
I made a long row of 20 hexagon blossoms, ready to be added to the flimsy.

#353 Brick and Cross Filling Stitch and #354 Stem Stitch with Buttonhole Loop landed on the sampler.
On February 8th every year there is a ceremony where Japanese tailors, needlewomen, seamstresses, kimono makers, and of course quilters and us who love embroidery, say thanks to old and broken pins and sewing needles. How? By sticking them into a big block of tofu at a Buddhist temple.
