Friday Revision Homework - Stitches 296 - 300

After a long sickness leave, I am now back on track with Sunday Stitch School. Here is the revision homework for stitches 296 - 300.

Let me start by showing this picture of Sunbonnet Sue that I made for stitches 26 - 30,  in 2017, August 4. 

It inspired me to make a similar scene.  

Sue has changed into a skimpier bikini but is still lapping up the last of the summer's sunshine while sipping on another cool drink.

Here goes:

Tokyo has been extremely hot this summer, and most people say they are exhausted. Finally, we seem to be in sight of some cooler weather. I hope I will regain my energy and have a productive autumn.

WIPW - Slowly Starting Up Again

My last blog post was more than two weeks ago. 

I then wrote about taking a break from stitching and blogging to let my eye heal from a broken blood vessel  (subconjunctival haemorrhage). It looked much worse than it was but took longer than I expected to heal completely. I am happy to report that  I am now well enough to slowly start up my projects again.

For this week's Work In Progress Wednesday,  I can only report on 

Hexablooms

where I have five new flowers. The total count now stands at 95.

Time Off - Eye Strain

Due to eye strain, I need to take a week off stitching and will avoid using the computer, too. It's nothing serious so let's hope I get the all-clear from the doctor soon.

Sunday Stitch School - Revision: Stitches 296 - 300

We have now reached the 300 stitch mark and it is time to revise the last five stitches before we go on to further stitch adventures.

Click on the title to go to the instructions.

296 Rhodes Rectangle Stitch

It's yet another version in the Rhodes Stitch collection.

297 Raised Cup Stitch with Twisted Chain

Round and dome-shaped, it is a good stitch when you want something textured.

298 Hatamusubi

This is a Japanese knot used in Sashiko for joining two threads invisibly on the reverse side of the work. I think it can be used on the front, showing off the knot.

299 Backstitched Trellis Stitch

Do you want to use up a lot of thread? Here is the perfect stitch for you. All that backstitching will soon gobble up your thread!

300 Ring Picot Stitch

The Ring Picot is a nice edging stitch.

Homework:

It is Show Time for Sunbonnet Sue. What is she engaged in at this time I wonder?

Ah, those sharp lines look like floor tiles in a bathroom!

Ha, they are NOT! Actually, the lines will be slightly softer.
