Buttonhole stitch

Today I made some time to work on the buttonhole stitch. I used a blue fabric I rust dyed last year and 3 different embroidery threads: blue stranded floss, brown broder special and light blue Caron Wildflowers.
It was fun to watch the fabric change while I was stitching. The marks inside the brown buttonhole stitches are from a screw.
This is one of the 12 samplers I prepared for TAST 2012, they are 15 x 15 cm or 6 x 6 inch. I'm just stitching on the sampler that matches the stitch for me. For the buttonhole stitch I worked on 2 different samplers. I wrote about my buttonhole border here.

  5. Jen is right - that does look like something you might see from an airplane, flying over the southwestern US.
