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:
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.
Homework:
Let Sunbonnet Sue illustrate the five stitches.

Is Sun Bonnet Sue up to something for Christmas?
Good luck with the new adventure, Sue!
Time is flying! It’s time for Sue again already. I look forward to seeing her illustrated with these stitches on Friday.
Will Sue be dressed as Santa's helper giving out gifts to poor children?
Now what is Sue going to get up to?
Will Sue turn into Santa Claus? Looking forward to it.
Yes... that swoop of red looks like it is blowing Christmas towards Sue...
