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!
