It took me some time to complete this Sunbonnet Sue sampler. Sue herself is very small but still needed to be made up of some of the five stitches. In fact, I managed to add Plaited Fly Stitch for her bonnet, Dutch Cross Stitch for her dress and made a flower with Rolled Woven Picot. The actual flower is rolled but the leaf is left unrolled - so basically it is an Open Base Woven Picot, but it IS longer than that stitch usually is. It was really hard to see the warp and weft.
The chocolate pralines are rather textured, especially the Looped Blanket Stitch and the Rolled Woven Picots. I needed to add a bit of crayon marking and Stem Stitch for the Dutch Cross chocolates or they would not look round.
The text on the card and the outlines of Sue are made with Stem Stitch
The good thing about these chocolates is that they are low in calories and high in fibre.
Happy Valentine!
If only all chocolates were low in calories!
ReplyDeleteThis is great! The chocolates are a perfect way to use these stitches. Very creative!
ReplyDeleteA lovely chocolate gift from Sue.
ReplyDeleteChocolate design that I see in the cases in shops.
And Health-conscious chocolate is trending.
I think Su’s chocolate is over 70% cocoa.
Oh, very well played! Seasonal, ingenious, charming, and positively yummy!
ReplyDeleteOh how wonderfully imaginative!
ReplyDeleteAnother pretty Sue!
ReplyDeleteLucky Sue, I'm not allowed chocolates.
