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: 242 - Double Wheatear Stitch
When you hear the name of this week's stitch, Double Wheatear Stitch, you already know what's in store, don't you?
Yes, it is a version of the basic Wheatear Stitch, where you make TWO pairs of ears for each kernel.
Learn it at Pintangle where Sharon will treat you to an easy-to-follow tutorial.
Here are my photo instructions:
Make a V.
without going through the fabric.
Here is your first stitch:
a kernel with TWO pairs
of ears.
Make another set.
End with a kernel.
You can also add a single ear at
the top.
How about ending the line with the
ears? Not, authentic, maybe,
but why not?
What do you think?
Homework:
Let the wheat grow strong on these samplers.
