Friday Revision Homework - Stitches 146 - 150

Sunday Stitch School's collection of stitches has now reached 150. For every five stitches learned I have made a revision lesson, and the homework has been to make a Sunbonnet Sue sampler featuring the five stitches. 

With 150 stitches, it means there are 30 Sunbonnet Sues. Here are some of them:

The typical traditional Sue

Stitches 81-85


In this sampler Sue is an adult and has slimmed off her puppy fat.

26-30

Sometimes she has no bonnet, but her face is hidden,
behind flowers,
41-45

or leaves,
111-115

or protective medical gear.
121-125

Sometimes Sue is seen from behind.
31-35


This week's homework:
The Sunbonnet Sue for stitches 146 - 150, is another traditional quilt design for Sunbonnet Sue.
I  used Stem Stitch for the outlines and reserved the five stitches for the clothing.

I think the Knotted Stitch was perfect for the straw bonnet, and the Woven Circle in variegated thread made a yummy lollipop.

Sunday Stitch School - Lesson 148: Zig-zag Petal Stitch

Welcome to meet another great stitch, the Zig-zag Petal Stitch. It is a nice combination of slanted Stem  Stitch and Lazy Daisy Stitch. It is included in Edith John's Creative Stitches, but I came across it at Maggie's Textiles, and have with the aid of Rachel of Virtuosew Adventures confirmed the instructions.


Begin with a Lazy Daisy Stitch.


Anchor it and come up where you started.

Take a slanted Stem Stitch, pointing upwards
and coming out in the middle.

There, plant another Lazy Daisy Stitch, pointing in 
the other direction.
Anchor it and come out at the starting point as before.

Make another Stem Stitch, this time
slanting downwards, come out where 
you touch the first Stem Stitch.

Make the third Lazy Daisy Stitch,

and continue in the same way.


You can of course change the size or 
the angle of the Lazy Daisy Stitch.
