Take a stitch Tuesday

This is my first attempt at the Interlaced Up and down buttonhole.  I wasn't particularly successful with it.  The substrate I worked on was miserable to use.  It is an interesting stitch and I definitely want to try it again.  My thanks to Sharon B at    http://pintangle.com/  for the instructions.

    Hi Angela - what is the foundation fabric? I think the stitch still made and interesting mark - to me your piece looks like a drought ravaged landscape. If you want a more traditional look try the stitch on a bit of linen.

      The foundation is painted tissue paper adhered to felt and then machine stitched.

    The background is very organic looking, and like Sharon said, the stitch has made an interesting mark. Definitely worth persevering with the substrate fabric.

    Painted tissue paper sounds delicate to work with! I love the overall look of the fabric with this stitch.

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.
