Friday Revision Homework - Stitches 346 - 350

Here is the Sunbonnet Sue sampler for stitches 346 - 350.

It was #349 Lantern Stitch that set the theme - Sue as a teenager, snogging her boyfriend Sam under a street lamp.

The two cross stitches, #348 Freeform Cross and #350 Over-Under Cross, were useful for a starry sky. 

The Canvas stitch #347 John Stitch turned out to be great for Sue's winter coat, a quilted down coat.

I also like #346 Double Lazy Daisy Stitch for Sue's wavy hair. Believe it or not, but Sam's shaggy hair is made up of a staggered mass of #348 Freeform Cross.

Other stitches are the Stem Stitch and Whipped Back Stitch.

Here as well, a few marks on the silk and the stitching was completed smoothly.

Do you remember #329 Radiation Stitch? If you do, this will be easy. Simply make two mirrored Radiation Stitches with equal-length rays and work Back Stitch where they join.

Follow my photo tutorial, and you will see how easy it is:

The homework will be, as always, to add to the three samplers:
