Friday Revision Homework - Stitches 136 - 140

Here is Sunbonnet Sue practicing social distancing. She is chilling out in the Waved Chain Stitch waters of an isolated lake in the middle of nowhere. On the shore Sycamore Stitch plants are growing. Waved Chain Stitch butterflies are fluttering around her and the Tied Windmill Stitch sun is giving her skin a bit of a tan.
Sue has dressed up in her Indian Herringbone Stitch sundress and her Brick Stitch sunbonnet.

Stem Stitch was also used for outlines.

Sunday Stitch School - Revision: Stitches 136 - 140

It is time for a revision lesson to look at the last five stitches.
Click on the title to see instructions and previous posts for each stitch.

136 Tied Windmill Stitch
This is a beautiful stitch and can be made into different shapes.
Change the spacing, the length of the arms, the placement of the cross, the thread colour, weight and type, and the sky's the limit, as they say.

 137 Brick Stitch
For an even look use a weave with a good grid.


138 Waved Chain Stitch
So easy, so impressive. This is a stitch well worth learning!


139 Sycamore Stitch
A Lego stitch, use it to build various motifs.


140 Indian Herringbone Stitch
This makes such an attractive woven look, perfect for the image of checked tweed etc.



Homework:
It is time for another Sunbonnet Sue sampler.
This time I made use of my molding pads, and fabric crayons to make part of the scene.

Friday Homework for Lesson 136: Tied Windmill Stitch

This is an easy and neat stitch. Use two different threads or vary the length of the stitches for a nice look.

Sunday Stitch School - Lesson 136: Tied Windmill Stitch

Hello, and welcome to yet another set of five stitches here at Sunday Stitch School. The first one, #136, is a canvas stitch called Tied Windmill Stitch. I found it on this beautiful sampler of Carole's at A Slight Obsession with Books.

Work it like this:

Make a cross out of three vertical, 

and three horisontal straight

stitches.

Then make an X-cross to tie
the six straight stitches
together.

You can also make the rays with
different length of stitches, which
I think is very attractive.

Also, why not make the X-cross with a different colour, or thread?

Homework:

Add to these three samplers, and if there is time to the canvas sampler.
