Let's review stitches 291 - 295, then make a Sunbonnet Sue sampler.
Click the title and you will see the stitch instructions.
Around the world, there are many stitches with needle weaving. Kamal Kadai is a traditional Indian version.
I wove it with a selection of threads/yarn. Which petal is your favourite?
292 Semi Diamond Chain Stitch
I found this stitch on YouTube and guess it is a 'home made' stitch. It is also a very beautiful one. Furthermore, it's easy to do.
Sharon of Pintangle is famous for her gorgeous crazy quilt seams and her ability to combine stitches. Trust her to decorate (lace) such a basic stitch as Arrowhead Stitch to showcase various threads. It is a simple and effective way to play with all those tricky types of threads. You know, threads that are knobbly, bulky, fluffy, furry, flat like a ribbon or full of metallic fibres.
294 Indian Knotted Feather Stitch
Again YouTube is where I found this stitch. It is a version of Spanish Knotted Feather Stitch and results in a beautiful line.
This stitch is from Madam Totsuka's collection. I gave it the name as it is simply described as 'German Knot with Back Stitch', with no mention that it is worked in a square.
It is easy, quick and highly addictive. I also love that it changes appearance with size.

All the petals are so pretty but the blue and purple one is my favourite!
I'm very much looking forward to seeing what Sue is up to this time!
Yes, what is Sue up to this time?
Maybe getting some sun and enjoying a walk through a neighborhood park
like I've been doing or what?
I like the Kamal Kadai stitch in the thicker orange yarn, beautiful.
I like orange petals. Looks like a strawberry. Do you think orange strawberries are delicious? I would definitely like to eat it if exists.🍓
