Sunday Stitch School - Revision: Stitches 81 - 85
We have completed another set of five stitches and it is time for a revision.
Click on the headlines to read about and learn each stitch.
81 Reversed Fly Stitch
Easy. Two Fly Stitches are stitched together, either entwined or just touching.
82 Bokhara Couching
A filling stitch that can be neat and even, or free form, depending on the fabric you stitch on.
83 Mennonite Tack Stitch
A quilting stitch used for frugal, quick and utilitarian quilting.
84 Star Darn Stitch
Much easier than it looks. Perfect for Christmas ornaments.
85 Wrapped Cross Stitch
NOT a favorite stitch of mine, but quite plump and outstanding.
Homework:
Use these five stitches to make a Sunbonnet Sue Sampler picture.
This time I are sticking to the traditional style with a young and chubby Sue.

Friday Homework for Lesson 82: Bokhara Couching
I finished my homework in the nick of time.
It was fun and easy to stitch, but I had to rush so the result is not as neat as I would have liked.
Aida Sampler
The large space between the holes makes Aida unsuitable for filling, but it was very easy to stitch and I quite like the grid-like look.

It was enjoyable to work free form.
On the brown and light blue rectangle I cheated of course, and used brown thread for the laid work and light blue for the couching. Also I did not pay attention to where I placed the stitches so I got a very modern free design there.
Teal Wool Tailoring Scribble Cloth
For this pentagon design I used an old template. I added five long Straight stitches to define the shape.

Sunday Stitch School - Lesson 82: Bokhara Couching
Once again Sunday Stitch School is focusing on couching, this time on the Bokhara Couching Stitch.
For this stitch we are not couching one thread in a single line for an outline, but filling in an area, e.g. a leaf.
The finished look has some similarity to the Bayeux Stitch, but you fill in the background at the same time as you do the Couch-As-You-Go stitch.
Draw the outline of the shape you want to fill, and some slanted lines inside.
I made parallel lines to guide the needle.
Come out at the bottom left corner, place the thread across the bottom of the shape to the right corner.
Come out on the left of the first parallel line, slightly above the laid thread.
Now take a Back Stitch over the laid thread and go in slightly below to the right so you have a slanted stitch.
Repeat with the next, and so on,
and work your way up
Homework:
I wonder how this will look on Aida! Try it out on the Aida Sampler.
The Sunday Stitch School Reference Chart and the Teal Wool Tailoring Scribble Cloth should be less of a challenge.

I will need to practice to get a tidier result...
