Hello, and welcome to yet another set of five stitches here at Sunday Stitch School. The first one, #136, is a canvas stitch called Tied Windmill Stitch. I found it on this beautiful sampler of Carole's at
A Slight Obsession with Books.
Work it like this:
Make a cross out of three vertical,
and three horisontal straight
stitches.
Then make an X-cross to tie
the six straight stitches
together.
You can also make the rays with
different length of stitches, which
I think is very attractive.
Also, why not make the X-cross with a different colour, or thread?
Homework:
Add to these three samplers, and if there is time to the canvas sampler.

Ooh, this has possibilities, doesn't it!
I like that stitch and you're right the different length of rays is attractive.
I really like this one! And it looks very easy to do.
That stitch looks like a good possibility for my quilt's applique flowers centers. I was thinking yo yos but this might be a lot easier and less work.
It's a pretty stitch, especially the one with variable stitch lengths. The name is intriguing too.
That is a very cool stitch! I have to try it!
Beautiful
