Sunday Stitch School - Revision: Stitches 81 - 85

We have completed another set of five stitches and it is time for a revision.
Click on the headlines to read about and learn each stitch.

81 Reversed Fly Stitch
Easy. Two Fly Stitches are stitched together, either entwined or just touching.

82 Bokhara Couching
A filling stitch that can be neat and even, or free form, depending on the fabric you stitch on.

83 Mennonite Tack Stitch
A quilting stitch used for frugal, quick and utilitarian quilting.

84 Star Darn Stitch
Much easier than it looks. Perfect for Christmas ornaments.

85 Wrapped Cross Stitch
NOT a favorite stitch of mine, but quite plump and outstanding.

Homework:
Use these five stitches to make a Sunbonnet Sue Sampler picture.
This time I are sticking to the traditional style with a young and chubby Sue.

I quite often use fly stitch, probably because I can remember how to do it without looking at instructions.

Beware Sue! You are about to be needled!

A very nice sample of stitches to play with, for Sue's outfit.
