This is the last Work In Progress Wednesday report for March 2026.
Hexablooms
I made five new flowers.
Sunday Stitch School Indigo Sampler
Here is #357 Whipped Wheatear Stitch made with a plain red Perle and a knobbly, braided and slippery synthetic thread in purple.
As for the #358 Air Chain Stitch, I wanted to use the fact that the arch has plenty of room under its 'belly'. I couched a piece of ribbon under four of the arches. Please note that, on purpose, I put one of the stitched arches out of order.
A ring was trapped under another two arches. As the ring is not fixed to the fabric, it can be flipped over.
Birthday Present
Here is the completed pot holder I showed a zoomed-up picture of last week.
More interesting hexagon fabrics! The pot holder gift will be appreciated both for its usefulness and for how pretty it is.
ReplyDeleteGood potholder finish! I'm in the middle of my potholder project, binding #3. and I like what you did with Air Chain Stitch attaching a ring. Whipped Wheatear Stitch is beautiful with the red Perle and purple thread on indigo.
ReplyDeleteYes, so many interesting possibilities with this stitch, for couching things or threading things, or just providing texture...
ReplyDeleteThe pot holder is looking lovely.
ReplyDeleteYou wild and wonky stitcher! Love it!
