SAL

Apologies for not getting this post out yesterday. For some reason it slipped by.

Last time I had just begun the sampler wheel from Cathy Reavy’s videos, having done the preparation. This is where I was up to:

This is where I am now:

I am enjoying it, working at my own pace, learning new stitches. The sections are just the right size to practice the them. Most of them are new to me, so I am including a guide to them and links to Cathy’s excellent videos.

Of course the centre is made of French knots. I used two threads of different thicknesses to get the more textured look.

1. Palestrina knot stitch

2. Drizzle stitch

3. Pistil stitch

4. Bullion knot

5. Coral knot stitch

6. Cast on stitch

7. Colonial knot

8. Bullion knot rose (isn’t this one pretty?)
