Done another two stitches for my wee book courtesy of the twisted band sampler teaching me them.
Scallop Stitch
Ray Stitch
I love the effect they gave to the twisted band sampler - wee reminder
The scallop stitch is out the outer edges and the ray stitches are in the middle where they meet.
I have also been plodding on with the learning sampler and thought I gone wrong, so took a photo, put it up in the learning sampler facebook page and the designer got back in touch within an hour with a reply and a picture of her part - and was very reassuring - hooray for her!
Here is the said part
It contains algerian eyes, double herringbone and lattice stitch. Will do these for my wee book once I have finished the band.
Some lovely pictures of the cards and wee bags that have been done.
Was thinking of Soulie this week - she popped up in my facebook page for some reason - I wonder what she would of thought of it all - she was a lovely lass.
Keep well everyone
sweetcarer
Beautiful work as always
Hopefully Soulie would have approved 0 -
More cards from me.
