46 Corded Coral Stitch
Easy to do and an interesting linear stitch.
47 Two-sided Insertion Stitch
Such a pretty stitch, and it looks good on the back as well!
48 Detached Up and Down Buttonhole Stitch
Easy and fun. Good for both filling in areas and making a nice braided line.
49 Colonial Knot
This knotted stitch is not that different from French Knots in its look, but I think it sits steadier on the fabric.
The hand movement is very relaxing and you will soon work up speed.
50 Bayeux Stitch
This is a nice filling stitch with long history. It can be used to fill in any design, as Chitra has proved.
Homework:
Make a Sunbonnet Sue sampler, of course. Key expressions are Cold winter and maybe something relating to Korea?
Use your imagination.
Nice review.I'm curious to see what you come up with, maybe something to do with the Olympics?
ReplyDeleteIn a way, yes....

Thank you for your information. I have updated the various blog posts.
DeleteI'm looking forward to see how you combine these stitches on your next Sue.
ReplyDeleteHer feet have been clad in #50, that much I can tell. you.
DeleteAll of those stitches have great possibilities.
ReplyDeleteThe design challenge begins!
They are all so different and prove to us that wide spectrum of stitches.
DeleteI haven't tried the Baueaux stitch as yet. Thanks for sharing the video annnd Jizzee's wonderful fish, link.
ReplyDeleteAlthough this stitch is associated with the famous tapestry, there is so much you can use it for.
DeleteThey are all interesting textured stitches, aren't they!
ReplyDeleteYes, this time they show the variety there are in stitches - and these are all 'historical' ones that have been around a long time.
DeleteLooking forward to seeing Sue
ReplyDeleteIt will be slow progress - the dresser is in bed with a cold!
DeleteIt’s nice to see a reminder of these stitches. I didn’t visit the video the first time around so saw it today ..... all fascinating! I look forward to seeing the next Sue.
ReplyDeleteI hope your cold goes quickly!
Hugs

Videos are a great way to see how a stitch is worked, and in this case to imagine how the tapestries were made.
DeleteThe cold is here to stay it seems.
Sharrons book is good isn't it? This block is also good.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Sharon has so much to teach and inspire us. The book is great, even for a non-stitcher. I'd say it is a coffee table book with all its eye candy.
