Here are my efforts:
Kafferepet
I quilted the cup cake block. As these cakes are in pleated paper cups I wanted an embroidery stitch for the quilting that reflected the shape. The best answer was Buttonhole stitch, the second TAST stitch we learned a long time ago.
Swedish Cushion
Here I worked the two hearts and some circles.
The heart on the left is #43 Magic Chain
The one on the right is #58 Woven Detached Chain (in two colours)
The circle on the left is #22 Buttonhole Wheel (well, one is more of a ring, I guess)
The circle on the right is #46 Buttonhole Eyelet Flower

Perfect choice!
Your quilting is looking really good. I like the idea of using different stitches to quilt. Your Swedish Cushion is coming along nicely too.
I'm glad you think so.
Thank you. I thought it was a good choice!
very month watering Queenie, I love Oliver Twist threads.Cushion coming along so well, look forward to seeing it in full
This particular OT thread was a treat to work with.
I had a long look at the cupcakes to see what you did with the buttonhole stitch. Finally I saw the twist. I'm not familiar with the Oliver Twist thread, but it looks nice to stitch. I like your heart with woven detached chain, it matches beatifully with the magic chain.
For this section of the Swedish cushion I wanted to find stitches that mirrored each other as much as possible, hence the Magic Chain and the Woven Detached Chain. I am glad #94 Reversed Buttonhole Bar can be worked in a circle. I have some more circles to find stitches for.
You do such lovely work and are so creative with all the TAST stitches. I love the heart with the alternating colors of the woven detached chain.
Thank you, Pamela. That is a really nice TAST stitch. Instant reward!
Your stitching is so creative. Love the cupcakes. And your Swedish cushion stitching is great.
Thank you Marci!
just beautiful Queenie - and so helpful to see the up close photos and read your explanations :) Merry Christmas!
Thank you for your kind words.
Wishing you all the best for the Christmas season.
