This week I decorated 2
seams on block 3 for my Crazy White quilt. It’s the last block of the 4 blocks I
prepared in 2012! My first seam was drawn with the help of Sharon’s CQ stencil.
I stitched Portuguese stem stitch in perle 5. It will be decorated when all
embroidery on the block is done.
Here I made a combo of
detached chain stitch, pistil stitch, bullion knots and French knots. The
thread is perle 8.
Work In Progress
Wednesday is a support group to encourage people to complete languishing
projects, Works In Slow Progress or UFO’s.

Your seams are lovely! I look forward to seeing how they look next week.
ReplyDeleteI hope I have time to stitch this week, my daughter is visiting for 2 weeks!
DeleteI do like the one colour crazy idea and yours is a real beauty. Hoping Sharon might come up with another set of stencils as this set is so good.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Margaret.
DeleteI love the chunky Portuguese Stem stitch, but I bet it will look even better with decorations later on. I agree with Margaret, one colour crazy blocks are real beauties.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Queenie. The decoration for the Portuguese stem stitch will have to wait a little longer. My youngest daughter is visiting for 2 weeks and wants to learn crochet, so there's no time for stitching!
DeleteI do like the colour of your thread and your beautiful stitching!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Susan. It's so good to see what can be done in just one colour!
