Once upon a time Sue was a baby girl and it was the hood of her pram that was the Bonnet that kept her face out of the Sun.
11 - Knotted Satin Stitch was used for the quilt and the ties on the kite string.
12 - Lace Stitches make up the hood of the pram.
13 - Mountmellick Stitch was used for a lace edge along the hood and the top of the carriage, as well as the frill on Sue's sleeves.
14 - Norwich Stitch in variegated floss was used for the kite.
15 - Open Chain Stitch in pink for the carriage, and bundled in the blue tyres.
For the kite string and sleeves I used Stem Stitch.
Straight Stitch was used for the hands, the outline of the quilt blocks and the spokes of the tyres.
What cleaver uses for those stitches, and what a darling block!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Yes, I think we have to embrace the infant Sue!
DeleteVow very well applied. Neatly stitched. You r so punctual in doing your home work.😁😁
ReplyDeleteHonestly speaking, Shami, I had to think hard how to use the various stitches. Among these five there is no real linear stitch and I had to use a very narrow Open Chain Stitch for the carriage, then add Stem Stitch for some other lines.
DeleteVery cute! I never thought of Sue as a baby before.
ReplyDeleteShe is mostly seen as a chubby girl. Last time I made her into a slim adult. So what will be the next motif?
DeleteBeautiful work and I love the story, Queenie, I agree, clever!
ReplyDeleteWhat should be the next chapter in Sue's life? We'll have to wait for another five stitches/weeks!
Deletewhat a pretty pram you have created here with your lovely stitchery loving the little arms reaching out to be picked up
ReplyDeleteI wanted to make something like the Millson prams (the Rolls-Royce of prams) that I loved looking at in my childhood. I think though, that Sue's pram is prettier!
DeleteDo you really think she wants to be picked up? I thought she wanted to get the kite!
Very pretty. I especially love the stitch used in the carriage wheels.
ReplyDeleteYes, I am also pleased with the tyres, and the hood, too.
Deleteso cute, so creative!!
ReplyDeleteThanks. It was really fun to think up how to use these five stitches.
DeleteYou have won my heart with your rendition of stitches. I can see that Sue longs to reach the Norwich kite - who could blame her.
ReplyDeleteIt was so much fun making this scene! And a challenge, too, as the five stitches did not contain a linear one, but somehow a narrow line of Open Chain Stitch made the carriage.
DeleteThis is so cute! And I see what you mean with your reply at my previous comment, very clever!
ReplyDeleteHa, ha! Yes, it depends on what you mean with BONNET. It is certainly a sun shade when it refers to a HAT, but on a car, the sunshade is called a HOOD, and the bonnet is the metal cover for the engine. So what about a pram? Is the soft rain cover made of plastic that covers the top of the carriage a bonnet? Is the foldable cover for the head a hood or a bonnet? It protects the baby's head from both sun and rain....
DeleteWhat a lovely way to show off these stitches! You do such beautiful work. I particularly love the addition of the kite.
ReplyDeleteThank you. It was hard to think up ways to use the stitches. I have learned that I need at least one stitch that is good for making lines.
DeleteThe Norwich stitch is hard to do on a small scale so I thought one large stitch tweaked into a diamond shape would make an acceptable kite, or geometric balloon!
