Sunday Stitch School - Revision: Stitches 191 - 195

You know what happens after we have learned five new stitches? Yes, it is time to review them and make a Sunbonnet Sue sampler.

191 Plaid Filling Stitch

This overstitched grid makes a nice check, even something like tartan if you plan the colours and placements carefully.

192 Astypalea Stitch

This stitch is named after a Greek island. It is made up of laced small V:s.

193 Double Drizzle Stitch

A bunch of these will 'grow like mushrooms' out of your foundation fabric.

194 Magic Blanket Stitch

A fascinating stitch that makes you wonder and ponder 'How on Earth is this made?'.

It's just an easy trick behind the magic.

195 Misako Mimoko Lacing Stitch

If you are looking for a nice border stitch, here is one that can be impressive, colourful and structured. You need small foundation stitches and then lace them evenly. Excellent to use a metallic, fluffy or tricky thread for the lacing.

Homework:

Make a Sunbonnet Sue seasonal portrait. Take your time, I know it will not be completed by next Friday, but try to have it done by Christmas Eve.
