I have worked on the flower block and added quilting in Herringbone stitch, TAST #5.
Swedish Cushion
I've put in six circular stitches.
On the left, from the left:
#62 Raised Cross Stitch Flower, #40 Buttonhole Wheel Cup, #94 Reversed Buttonhole Bar (worked in a circle with spikes)
On the right, from the left:
This is also the #94 Reversed Buttonhole Bar, (worked in a circle, but with the spikes meeting in the centre), #11 Whipped Wheel and #85 Raised Cup
I really like the way those buttonhole stitches work in a circle. I like that chain underneath too.. Have a very happy Christmas.
ReplyDeleteYes, aren't they neat?! You can change the look around so much by stitching in curves instead of straight lines.
DeleteEnjoy your Christmas.
Great stitching Queenie ! May you have a wonderful Christmas.......
