Sunday Stitch School - Revision: Stitches 306 - 310

These last five stitches seem to have very little in common. How am I going to work them into a Sunbonnet Sue sampler?

Let's revisit them. If you click the title a link will take you to the instructions.


306 Whipped Back Stitch

This is definitely the easiest of the five stitches, yet it is a very attractive stitch.



307 Rhodes Diamond Stitch

Here is another member of the Rhodes family. I like that the diamond can be either a square on point, or a real diamond shape - long and tapering.



308 Crossed Cretan Stitch

It takes a bit of time to get into the rhythm, but once you have got it, you have got it!



309 Chessboard Filling Stitch

Here is a neat canvas stitch. Nice and hardwearing.




310 Circular Buttonhole Dome Stitch

This stitch has been around for a long time. There are many possibilities here, play around with colour and different types of thread.




Homework:

Let Sue have seasonal fun!

You are being a tease! I can't wait to see what Sue gets up to!

I'm sure Sue will have fun, but I can't imagine what she's going to be doing!

I don’t know what these will become!
