Today Sunbonnet Sue learned a painful lesson. NEVER eat an ice cream cone while trying to chase butterflies!
Whose feet are these?
This means it is time to review stitches 251 to 255 and then make a Sunbonnet Sue sampler.
Perfect for beautiful flower petals.
252 Annet's Pulled Triangle Stitch
Although this is a pulled stitch, it looks good as a triangular filling stitch, too.
We have learned several beautiful Indian stitches before. Here is another one, one that can be the building block in many geometric patterns.
254 Alternating Mountmellick Stitch
This is a mirrored version of the lovely Mountmellick Stitch.
Another stitch that gives a nice mirror image is the traditional Chevron Stitch.
Homework:
Work on Sue!
Oh, this is a lovely stitch and has its own pleasant rhythm. Once you have got into the pace you can do this stitch in 'autopilot'.
Linen Sampler
It was nice to put some stitches in this linen sampler again - it's been such a long time.
I could have pulled harder, but wanted to retain the triangular shape.
Thank you Annet for your tutorial and inspiration.
Today let's learn from Annet, a multitalented multimedia artist. She is into crocheting, rubber stamping, ACT cards, collection boxes, picture collages using magazines and of course, stitching. I learned so much from following her take on the TAST stitches.
I have not found an official name for this stitch. Annet, if you know, or indeed if anyone else knows, leave a comment below, please.
Updated: Annet told me this stitch which she found in an old Dutch book is described as 'vlakvulling van driehoekjes', translated into English it becomes: tessellation of triangles.
Today is a stitch for Pulled Work, but I think it looks great as a surface stitch, too.
First visit the excellent instructions on Annet's blogpost for this stitch, then have a look at my photo instructions.
