Sorry for the disruption last week. All is well again, so let's start with a quiz!
What are the names of these stitches?
a) __________________
b) ___________________________
c) _______________________________
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::Answers: a) Buttonhole Stitch, b) Up and Down Buttonhole Stitch, c) Knotted Buttonhole Stitch
a) and b) are TAST stitches, and c) is Sunday Stitch School Stitch #36
So what is today's stitch? Well, it is a version of the Buttonhole Stitch, closest to c), and is called German Blanket Stitch, or German Buttonhole Stitch, if you prefer.
I found it at Anita's blog Artistic Fingers.
This is how to make it:
Start with a pair of slanted Buttonhole Stitch.
Insert the needle, right to left,
under the two 'legs'.
wrapped the 'legs' with a loop.
Continue in the same way.
Easy peasy!
Homework:
Squeeze in some German Blanket Stitches on these samplers.
It might be the last stitch for the Teal Wool Tailoring Scribble Cloth. It is time to start on a new scribble cloth.

You are the stitch detective, finding all of the different variations.
Such a nice buttonhole variation.
There are always new variations on Blanket Stitch to find, aren't there!
Another great stitch to try. I like the way it looks.
Yes, Pamela is right! Having different varieties makes embellishing more exciting.
Those samplers are looking so detailed.
Everything has a buttonhole name. In other words, if You make a round stitch and cut the center, will the button be stopped?
