Friday Revision Homework - Stitches: 326 - 330

Phew! I finished my homework with less than half an hour to spare - soon it will be Saturday here in Japan.

On the internet, I found an illustration which I thought would make a good Sunbonnet Sue. 

Here she is on a freelance photo shoot with the Pueblo Indians. They let her try on one of the dance costumes, and it has a face mask!

To illustrate the revision stitches, I let Sue hold a stitch sampler of Pueblo geometric designs.

The question is, does she realise there are flames in the radiation grass behind her?

The Radiation Stitch gets a different life when worked in a variegated thread!

Imagine these clusters made with orange thread, wouldn't they look like campfires? 

So are there two stitches that can be used for flaming fires, the Fire Stitch, that we learned two weeks ago and this week's Radiation Stitch?

Program the needle to do 100% free-form stitching, and you get sprawly, weedy bushes!

I LOVE embroidery!

Sunday Stitch School - Lesson 329: Radiation Stitch

For this Sunday, I'd like to introduce you to the Radiation Stitch. 

I hope it radiates positive energy like happiness, charm, warmth and optimism, and not nuclear leaks or harmful levels of UV rays. 

It's a pleasingly easy stitch based on Straight Stitch, radiating from the same source. You can let the rays fan out in a variety of ways. See examples below.

You can see where I found Radiation Stitch at Sarah's Hand Embroidery Tutorials.
