Of course I stitched in colour, and used the stitches like this:
I used Maidenhair Stitch as a filling stitch for Sue's hair that is hiding her face - there is no need for a sunbonnet at night!

Sunday Stitch School - Revision: Stitches 71 - 75
Let's review the last five stitches:
Click on the headline and see previous blog posts of the instructions, inspiration and homework.
71 Twisted Fly Stitch
This makes such a great base for floral designs - almost any detached stitch can be placed in the 'cup' and blossom into a flower.
72 Sham Hem Stitch
As only the first part of this stitch, the VVVVVVVVVV-line, goes through the fabric, and the second part, the lacing, just goes over and under the thread of the line of VVVVs, you can work this on thick fabric without adding a lot of bulk.
73 God's Eye Stitch
Oh, it was interesting to read about the ornament God's Eye that so many readers have made with sticks and wool, and compare it with the embroidery stitch.
74 Boucle Stitch
Here is a stitch that goes through the fabric many times! Used on canvas it makes a nice solid filling stitch. It would be suitable for upholstery.
75 Maidenhair Stitch
This is a charming version of the Feather Stitch.
Homework:
Make another Sunbonnet Sue using the five stitches.

Welcome to an evening class at Sunday Stitch School. Sorry to be late, and sorry this will be a short lesson.
You know the Fly Stitch:
The thread goes UNDER the needle.
The thread goes OVER and UNDER the needle.

point de plume torsadé
You know the Fly Stitch:
Today's stitch is the twisted version, which actually is a Detached Twisted Chain Stitch (#56) with a LONG LEG. I found it in Embroidery Stitches A-Z 1.
Work a cluster of French Knots or some Bullion Knots in the cup and you have a nice flower!
