buttonhole

Stitching is still "hot"
It's so easy to take with you :
a cloth
a needle (or two)
some threads
and scissors
...
on the boat,
in a waiting room,
at the Alpaca knitting group
(no ... they didn't mind !)

I did some really small pieces
with mostly ONE kind of stitch


buttonhole stitch
Cotton (in fact for crochet), embroidery floss, rayon and silk
on shot cotton (with a piece of felt at the back)
10 x 10 cm

Initially I did one like this in reds
on white cotton with a ragged edge,
but stitching on the edge
on not easy then !
So for the blue one I took a bigger piece of fabric
but still a 10 x 10 piece of felt.



A nearby trip last week
through a foggy landscape
resulted in this gray and white
feather stitch piece.

  3. How absolutely lovely. Isn't buttonhole a delight to experiment with - I was allocated it for the stitch dictionary we put together at our EG branch - gosh, back in 2015!
    Your winter trees are wonderfully evocative too.
