Sunday Stitch School - Revision: Stitches 231 - 235

Sunbonnet Sue is standing in the wings, preparing to jump out onto the stage on Friday. Yes, it is once again time to do a revision of the last five stitches we have learned here at Sunday Stitch School.

Let's begin with:

231 Rhodes Heart Stitch

If you can 'stitch by numbers' then there are many Rhodes stitches that you can do. Here we have the charming Rhodes Heart.



232 Romanian Macrame (Flower) Stitch

A stitch that by looks can be mistaken for Palestrina Stitch. It is, however, worked totally differently, and it is not difficult. The knots form 'beads' that stand up on the fabric.



Add this needle-weaving part to the previous stitch and you can create beautiful flower petals.


This canvas stitch reminds me of brick buildings with intricate patterns, e.g. Frank Lloyd Wright's Old Imperial Hotel in Tokyo.



This version of the beloved Herringbone Stitch is easy and quick to do. Also, it is good-looking, as well as confusing - a stitch in disguise. 


Homework:
Let Sunbonnet Sue illustrate the five stitches.
