Sunday Stitch School - Revision: Stitches 211 - 215

Five weeks and five stitches pass by so quickly! Now it is time to look back and review the five latest stitches. Click on the title for a link to the instructions.


211 Holly Braid Stitch

A historic stitch that takes you back to the Tudors. With the help of Rachel of VirtuoSew Adventures I have worked this elegant braid stitch into a nice linear stitch. It looks complicated, but actually it is easier than you think.


212 Loose Frech Knots

On the other hand, here IS an easy stitch. Chubby and free.



213 Zig-zag Whipped Back Stitch

Here is a  chance to be cruel, without hurting anyone - whip the back (stitch)!



214 Threaded Blanket Stitch

Bridge building!



215 Up and Down Crossed Buttonhole Stitch

I got this beautiful stitch from Annet of Fat-Quarter. Impressive, both in looks and ease of stitching.

Homework.
Time to make another Sunbonnet Sue. What will she be doing, how will she be dressed and where will she be.... Just wait and see.

Five interesting stitches to put together in one picture. As always, I look forward to seeing Sue.

This will be a good adventure with the Holly Braid Stitch and the Threaded Blanket Stitch, because they are both so bold.
