Old wheatear stitches

The TAST stitch for week 17 is wheatear stitch. I’ve used this stitch from time to time on the seams of my CQ, but always with stranded floss. My first detail is part of my TAST 2007 sampler. The fabric is muslin, so I made a grit with a water soluble pen. I added an extra straight stitch to the brown wheatear stitches.
On the same sampler I stitched a circle with wheatear stitches. I wrote about my complete TAST 2007 sampler here.
This is a seam on my crazy ATC Little Witch. I stitched the wheatear with 3 threads of stranded floss.
I think this is the last time I used wheatear stitch. It’s a seam on block 7 of my Crazy Monday quilt. I decorated the wheatear stitch with detached chain stitches at the arms and a French knot inside the loop.
I hope I have time to experiment with wheatear stitch, it’s a busy week again!

  8. Annet, you have left a couple of comments on my blog, being a learner have been doing it wrong and instead of thanking you on your blog I have been thanking you on mine. Sorry for being so stupid! Not sure what the difference is in leaving comments on people`s blogs and them being a follower,you do not show up in my followers but you have left comments, no doubt the penny will drop soon. Thanks for your comments and I love looking at your stitching.Will have to spend some time goig through your blog, just noticed there is a section on redwork will take a quick peek!
