This week the name of the game is Basque Stitch, a form of the lovely twisted chain stitch. I have seen lots of wonderful interpretations of it on Sharon's blog Pintangle.
Right now my stitching must be done in short and sweet sessions and I came up with the idea of making a birthday cake with burning candles.
Let's celebrate the 100th anniversary of HEMSLÖJDEN! Long live FOLK CRAFT!

What a lovely interpretation, so clever.

Yummie stitches!
too good queenie!
It is like glaze and fruit juice dripping of the layers of the cake. yummie!
I thought the Basque stitch looked like runny icing and candles, and the flames could be made with chain stitch.
A cake like this might not be delicious or yummie, but it sure is non-fattening!
Happy stitching to you all!
Very pretty. Thanks for your inspiring comments on my blog.
I love your birthday cake!
LOL! What a great interpretation, Queenie!
