Friday Revision Homework - Stitches 301 - 305

It was fun to make this Sunbonnet Sue sampler. 

I know she is not shading her face from the sun with a bonnet, but as her face is hidden under the mask, she will certainly not get a suntan, so I'll pass her off as Sunbonnet Sue.



As I have tried to illustrate in other Sunbonnet Sue samplers, Sue is a lady who is trying to inspire others to keep fit and go on a healthy diet. 

That explains why she has prepared a pot of steaming pumpkin soup instead of a basket of treats to offer any visitors. I am sure most kids will shun her house for more than one reason and would rather visit someone less scary who will give out calorific sweets instead.

Trick or Soup! Booooo


Happy Halloween!

Friday Homework for Lesson 301: Wreath Stitch

 This is a lovely stitch that works up quickly. Use a grid for the best result and keep the size small. The larger the wreath, the more open the work. Or use a thick thread, tapestry wool or ribbon to fill in the circle.

It was fun to use the variegated thread.
