Finally I managed to complete this sampler.
For the outlines, hair and glasses I have used Stem Stitch.

Sunday Stitch School - Revision: Stitches 241 - 245
Sue! Sue! Sunbonnet Sue! Where are you? It is time for you to come out from the shadows... Let's repeat the following Sunday Stitch School's stitches and then make a summery sampler:
(click on the title for instructions)
A Rhodes type of stitch, that could be used for birds, butterflies as well as Bow Ties.
I really like this Wheatear stitch variation. Double beauty!
Easy and useful.
I have received so many suggestions for what this stitch looks like. I don't like it very much but it is an unusual stitch for sure.
It looks especially nice on a gentle curve.
Homework:
Use Sue to sum up the stitches.
Next week has a busy schedule - I might not manage to have the sampler done by Friday...

Sunday Stitch School - Lesson 241: Bow Tie Stitch
#241 is called Bow Tie Stitch and it is a Canvas stitch of the Rhodes Stitch family. I got it from Shannon's collection. Check it out at her website, Badass Cross Stitch.
In my version, I have changed the order to save on thread.
Work it like this:
Use a fabric where the holes are easy to see
and count, Aida would be perfect.
Here is the stitch plan.
Come out at 1 and go in at 2.
Out at 3, in at 4.
Then follow the numbers.
Out at 17 in at 18.
Out at 19, in at 20.
Continue till you reach 24.
Completed!
See how little thread was
used on the back!
Homework:
Add here. Use waste canvas on the Mottled Wool Scribble Cloth and the Sunday Stitch School Reference Chart.
