Friday Homework for Lesson 150: Celestial Eyelet Stitch

I just love the look of this star, and it is so easy to make, especially on Aida and other fabric with a good grid.

In the Comment Box I got a suggestion from Elizabeth Healey. She is a graphic designer and Queen of recycling fabric for a new fresh look in quilting. She teaches workshops, writes articles, and is also the author of two excellent books 'Stitch, Fabric & Thread' and 'LACE Reimagined'. Both these publications show lots of new approaches to traditional work. So I was not surprised when she suggested that Celestial Eyelet Stitch could be stitched in two colours - one for the outer cross and another for the inner. I gave it a try and it worked very well, don't you think?

    That suggestion is good, the results of two color and variegated threads are super.
    Beautiful stitching Queenie!

    Wonderful stitches, Queenie. The two tones add to the pattern. I will try again with mine as they are tighter looking than those you have created. I wonder what the next stitch will be.
