Another 3 weeks have flown past!
This Stitch-A-long is for personal stitching. We post our progress every three weeks, which keeps me up to the mark.
And I have done three more squares in my sample wheel. This is where I am up to now….almost finished the second ring.
I am following the instructions on Cathy Reavy’s YouTube channel. Let’s name the stitches.
1. Detached chain stitch. The stitching is attached at the sides, rather than going through the backing material.
3. Laid stitch, with French knots to make the cup of the acorn.
I really enjoyed doing 2 and 3, so I want to give you a close up of them.
Do follow the links to see the wonderful work that the other stitchers are doing. There is a wide — and inspiring — range of works. Avis, Claire, Gun, Carole, Constanze, Christina, Kathy, Margaret, Cindy, Heidi, Jackie, Sunny, Megan, Deborah, Renee, Carmela, Sharon, Daisy, Anne, AJ, Laura, Cathie, Linda, Helen

Those do look like very fun stitches, Anne. I do love the colors that you have chosen, your wheel is so much more than a sampler!

That is an amazing SAL and those stitches look so complex! I cannot believe the 3D stitching work that makes some of them look like plants popping off the cloth!
