Tuesday came and almost went before I had time to get my stitches posted. Hopefully WordPress will cooperate. The last couple times I’ve tried to post, saving the draft wiped out what I had composed. That becomes tedious quickly.
This week I finished off a block using the stitches for weeks 4-9. I’m caught up with the challenge. Hoorah!
Week 4 – Cretan Stitch
(Closed Cretan) The cream-colored stitches…
(Open Cretan) The rose-colored stitches with blue beads…
This picture also shows the flower made of sequins using a tutorial by KerryKatieCakes.
Week 5 – Herringbone Stitch – The blue exaggerated X stitches.
Week 6 – Chevron Stitch – The brown stitches. A double row forms a diamond.
Week 7 – Detached Chain Stitch – Ribbon stitches forming flowers and leaves…
Detached chain forming butterflies and flowers…
Week 8 – Chain Stitch (Brown stitching)
Week 9 – Couching – Couching holds the funky fibers in place. (The butterfly is made primarily using the chain stitch.)
The block as a whole…using stitches from TAST weeks 1 – 9.
Tomorrow I must make another naked square…I simply must.
Until next time…
