There is little to say about this stitch, just that it is easy and beautiful.
Maybe I should add that whipping the Back Stitch line is a good way to hide any unevenness in the length of the stitches.

Hexablooms
It is cloudy, dull and grey today. By chance, most of the ten hexagon flowers I have stitched are in shades of gloomy grey, too.
I have continued to fill in gaps in the sampler. This time on the right side of the wool fabric, where there is a cluster of circles.
Welcome to another lesson.
Today, I am happy to add one more member of the Back Stitch Family to my collection - the Whipped Back Stitch.
The name tells you all - it's a line of Back Stitch that has been whipped!

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
