The Knotted Buttonhole Band stitch is very cool! I am really glad that Sharon B at http://pintangle.com/ showed how to do it. Mine looks a bit sloppy but it is still cool.
True to good form you are quickly working the new TAST stitch. Good girl! Have you tried it in different threads? I played around a bit yesterday and found it a cool stitch when worked in a thread with a good twist. When I used Coton a Broder, which has little twist, I got frustrated. Not cool!
Thank you so much for taking the time to comment on my blog! It means so much to me and I truly appreciate it! Whenever possible I reply to comments. warm regards Angela Princess Bubbles
I am still working away at attaching my circles to this piece. I have added some other stitching as well. I am very keen to add some beading to this one but that must wait. Beading needs to be the last step. I don't need the frustration of my threads getting snagged on the beads. Progress can feel oh so slow. Especially when it is because I am distracted by other projects! I am linking to https://kathysquilts.blogspot.com/
I started this collage-style fish this week. Such a fun little project. I have no purpose for this fish at the moment but I do love an underwater theme. I love working with bright colours as well as blues and greens. I am sure I will find a fun home for this fish eventually. I am excited to start adding beads and sequins but there is more embroidery to be done first. Plus, that tail needs some work. I think I have some funky yarn that will work nicely. Oh, how I love to embellish! I am linking to https://kathysquilts.blogspot.com/
I enjoyed stitching my September slice. I got out my book by Carole Samples Treasury of Crazy Quilt Stithes. It has wonderful combinations of stitches. I have had this book for years and never properly used it. It uses basic stitches in interesting combinations. So, I didn't really learn any new stitches but I did enjoy combining stitches in new ways. I might find that more helpful in the long wrong. The weather has still been cooperative for stitching outside. The week ahead looks good too. I might get a jump start on my October slice. It is sad to think about putting away the deck furniture but it can wait at least a week. I am linking to https://kathysquilts.blogspot.com/
