Friday Revision Homework - Stitches: 226 -230

Sue exchanged her sunbonnet for a witch's hat, then went trick-or-treating:

'Put some sweets in my Jack-o'-Lantern, or I'll trick this spider into infesting your house forever!'

I have also used Stem Stitch for the outlines and Back Stitch for the spider.

Sunday Stitch School - Revision: Stitches 226 - 230

Here we go again, it is time to make a summary of five stitches,  226 - 230.

Click on the title for each stitch to get to the instructions.

226 Badass Star Stitch

This is a beautiful stitch, and with a bit of recalculation, you can save a lot of thread by only filling in the front of the fabric.

227 Blanket Stitch Honeycomb

This takes time and you need to keep an eye on the edges, but the result is nice.

228 Zig-zag Palestrina Stitch

Oh, this looks so good, especially on Aida fabric and with short 'legs'.

229 Fancy Laced Running Stitch

Here is a braid for you. There are so many colour combinations you could make...

230 Cone Bullion Knot Stitch

Carrots or flower petals, these are fun bullions to make.

Homework:

Sunbonnet Sue will illustrate what you can do with these five stitches.

Aida Sampler

This was the easiest to work on. The holes are all there and therefore the spacing becomes neat.

Sunday Stitch School Reference Chart

Here I had to mark the plain fabric with pencil marks. It took a bit of time.

Mottled Wool Scribble Cloth

For this sampler I used waste canvas to  make the spacing easy.

Photographing this fabric is still a challenge.
