Take a stitch Tuesday


Sharon B at http://pintangle.com/ shows how to do the beaded Vandyke stitch this week.  I have to admit that I didn't remember how to do the Vandyke stitch and had to go back and practice.  I showed it in the bottom photo as I really liked how it looked with the variegated thread.  The beaded stitch is in the top photo, obviously.  I think the bead I used is too large so I am not terribly happy with it.

    Trust you to be quick to test the new stitch!
    The Vandyke stitch is very beautiful in itself so maybe a smaller bead will be best.
    I had a look at some other beaded Vandyke stitches and they reminded me of Buttonhole... so I will need to try this stitch out myself as soon as possible.

    I quite like the bead size as it blends well with the background.

I am not a gardener but I do love flowers.  It is so much fun for me to get out my macro lens and spend time photographing flowers up close and personal.  I am linking with http://www.shinethedivinecreativityisaspiritualpractice.com/ and http://macromonday2.blogspot.ca/

Slow Stitching Sunday

  I am on a scroll roll.  This is the second one I started this week.  I love the soft romantic feel of these pieces.  I love working with bright and cheerful colours but occasionally I have to play with a different set of colours.   These scrolls are coming together faster than I thought they would.  That also feels good.   Sometimes I need a project that can be completed quickly.
